An annotated bibliography for the Peninsular War.
Napoleonic Wars
In the French Revolutionary Wars (1792-1803) and closely related Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815) France faced successive coalitions of European states. In the Revolutionary Wars France expanded its control to the Low Countries, Italy, and the Rhineland. Napoleon built upon this and conquered much of Europe. However French success unravelled quickly after Napoleon’s disastrous invasion of Russia (1812). The Napoleonic Wars ended with Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo (18 Jun 1815). The wars depended on extremely high numbers of soldiers, recruited by modern mass conscription. My main interest is the grim contest between France and Spain (plus allies) in the Peninsular War (1808-1814).
