Peninsular War
Spanish War of Independence (1808 - 1814)
My interest in the Napoleonic Wars is restricted to Spain and Portugal, and their Central and South American Colonies. The continental part of these conflicts (1808 - 1814) was known as the Peninsular War to the British and the War of Independence to the Spanish. The effects of the French annexation of Spain lasted long after Napoleon was removed from the European Stage for good (1815). During the period 1810 - 1824, the Spanish colonies were wracked by revolution - see South American Wars of Liberation.
