Best Answer

The Battle of Waterloo was a huge battle between France and Britain (with Prussia as Britain's ally). Britain eventually won, but there were huge amounts of dead men on each side. Soldiers from both sides, but especially British soldiers (who had a repuation for being savage and ruthless, and were nicknamed the "God damns" by their French enemies) would take the teeth from dead French soldiers and sell them to people who had lost their teeth due to disease or diet back in Britain or Ireland when they got home.
