I am honestly jealous to how the Spanish recognize their efforts against Napoelonic tyranny. I'm from Rome and our city was sacked by Napoleon and most treasures transferred to the Louvre. Nothing is even told about our resistance against Napoleon, even when there's a Castle that paesants defended against Napoleon's troops and is still in ruins today; serving as ultimate evidence of anti-Napoelonic resistance. Much respect to the Spanish from Rome. 🇪🇸 🇻🇦
Tambien hay algunos en españa que lo defiendes diciendo que era un hombre de regla y respetuoso cuando nos ataco desde dentro siendo aliados ademas de que 2 de nuestros mayores conquistadores el CID y el gran capitan fueron desenterrados y los huesos se los removieron y incluso se llevaron el craneo del gran capitan y destruyeron o saquearon mas de 600 trofeos de guerra.
They weren’t necessarily “evil” like Nazi Germany. I’m not gonna justify war crimes here but sometimes when the enemy gets too brutal and when your soldiers get angry in war they resort to the worse of options
That's why the Spanish people called Marshal Suchet "El hombre justo" (Fair/righteous man), because all the other Marshals' armies behaved like utter animals: They burned churches and catholic schools, pillaged, plundered, raped on a massive scale. The Poles were horrified, since them were also catholics, and that's also why the guerrillas treated them with respect.
Here in Austria we also had a popular uprising against the French and their Bavarian allies, though it was only temporarily successful (Tyrol, Andreas Hofer) and suppressed a while later. Napoleon f***ed up tremendously in Spain, however. He thought he could force liberal, secular and revolutionary ideas and his brother as new king on a deeply conservative, religious and patriotic people and that they would be happy about all of it ... He had some successes while he was there in person, but once he had to leave, his marshals started to blunder against British, Spanish and Portuguese units. This endless guerrilla war, keeping a quarter of a million French troops occupied there, combined with his failed invasion of Russia, spelled the doom of his empire.
The seventh spanish army under La Romana, then Mendizabal and lastly Santocildes. La Romana was performing this fabian strategy, acknowledging they could do nothing on open field. Ending up defeating marshals Soult and Ney in detail forcing them to retreat. Then this army was reformed by early 1810's gathering all these guerrilla bands, reaching arround 36k men. They did tie down and cut off the whole french corp of the north which was twice it's size. It was basically being succesful and actively engaging on a war of attrition from the begining to the end of the conflict.
During the war that Spain had against Napoleon's invading French (1808-1814), the Spanish devised the so-called guerrilla war, or asymmetric war, to destroy a militarily superior enemy. In this case, popular games springboards for assault the French in a narrow passage. Other ideas were to throw bee hives at them and massacre them while they tried to escape from the stings, throw herds of bulls at them so that they trampled them, cut their throats while they relieved themselves or poison the food and water of entire units, in addition to the classic ambush in gorges. The French at that time were invincible in open field battles, with drums and flags and troops advancing in formation, but the war in Spain was about ambushes and slaughters, they never knew how to adapt and Spain was a Vietnam for Napoleon, along with Russia.
The Peninsular War was a conflict maintained and financed by England to defend its own interests. His commitment was to Portugal, his allied nation. His action on the peninsula was not intended to free the Spanish people from Napoleonic tyranny. We Spaniards waged another war: The War of Independence. Wellington only supported the Spanish if it was in England's interest. That is why he retired after the battle of Talavera, that is why he abandoned Madrid after occupying it after the Arapiles, that is why his drunken troops plundered Spanish cities conquered from the French, such as Badajoz or San Sebastián. In Spain, the French were fighting in hostile territory. If a Frenchman was left alone, he was a dead man. We Spaniards are angry and do not forgive. Nor do we owe anything to the English, our eternal enemies, whom we did not trust and who did not take long to support the independence of the Hispanic countries after the Congress of Vienna.
If anyone is curious about... French "adventures" in Spain, and if you can stomach it you might wanna look into Franscico De Goya's "Disasters of War" if you're into paintings or drawings. Also the "May the 3rd 1808" painting by the same dude.

What’s the name of the movie where French grenadiers (I presume) are taking citizens ? Uniforms look nice and it seems better than whatever the movie with the hussars being attacked by acrobatic peasants is lol
Napoleon was the bloodiest and most destructive tyrant that littered the turn of the 18th century to the 19th century. The devastating and damaging action of the French troops in Spain for four years should have filled any impartial French historian with shame: looting, wanton destruction of churches and convents, robberies, rapes, murders and a thousand other crimes for which we could not make them pay enough. They left Spain exhausted and devastated. And in a few years, the oldest and most territorially extensive empire of those on the planet in 1800 dissolved: the Spanish Empire.
Why does the song seem to have a resemblance to Turkish music?... I think it was because of the customs that remained after the reconquest of the Emirate of Granada.... maybe...
The Spanish Empire has won the Battle of The Pyrenees.
