I was hoping to add some more details to this originally, such as the movement of generals. Unfortunately I've run out of time as I will be away from tomorrow. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
Enjoy your time off.

The French comitted countless atrocities on civilians themselves,which was one of the reasons that motivated the creation of guerrillas en masse but also caused high number of civilians deaths, together with the starvation caused due to the lack of harvests as half the country is occupied,together with the stubborn resistance of spaniards who refused to surrender even if It meant death like It happened in Zaragoza in 1808

@@Heisenberg882 They were not poorly trained or directed. A year before Napoleon's invasion we defeated the British Redcoats, capturing General Beresford in Argentina. In the battle of Bailén 1808 the Spanish defeated the French. The Spanish offensive drove the French behind Madrid and behind the Ebro river. But Napoleon was the best strategist in history, at a time when France had military hegemony. It is very difficult to stop a hegemonic empire. France was strong for 15-20 years, with an explosive invasion that then erupted and ended with the invasion of Paris. Prussia was strong in 1870. Spain was strong for 150 years, invading Paris, Rome, Germany, Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands, simultaneously. Hegemonics empires.

Interesting side effect.
The entire Portuguese court fled to it's most important colony, Brazil, with the help of the British navy. About 10 thousand people in total.
Rio de Janeiro became the capital of the whole Portuguese Empire. When Napoleon was defeated, King John VI, which came to really enjoy life in Rio, did not return. The Portuguese Empire, including Portugal, were ruled from Rio de Janeiro. Brazil was raised to United Kingdom with Portugal.
It was the first and only time in history where the Metropolis (Portugal) was ruled from the Colony.
After 10 years in Brazil, King John was finally forced to return to Portugal because there was agitation from both republicans as well as old time royalists who did not like the King to be living in the old colonial territory.
John VI returned but left his eldest son, Dom Pedro I, in Brazil.
Now, under threat of returning to Colonial Status, Dom Pedro I (who had lived his whole teen years in Brazil) heard the cry of the population (or most probably, the burgeoise AND nobles living in Brazil) and declared Brazil independent, becoming it's Emperor.
Obviously, despite official history saying there was a rift with his father, King John probably knew Portugal (full of debt after the Lisbon earthquake PLUS the transport of the court to Brazil) could not fight to keep Brazil a colony as Spain TRIED AND FAILED.
Thus, leaving his son in Brazil to become it's Emperor was a master move. After all, Brazil became independent of Portugal, but it was under control of the Bragança Royal House, which is what really mattered to the king. His grandchildren would still rule over it.
And effectively did, as Dom Pedro II, son of Dom Pedro I with the Empress Maria Leopoldina from Austria (daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Francis II) reined after his father, while his older sister (granddaughter of John VI) became Queen of Portugal.
All of this ended with Portuguese people having their own monarchy revolution in which D. Pedro returned from Brasil to fight his brother D. Miguel. It became a civil war between liberal monarchists and absolutists which ended in a victory for D. Pedro.
Spain had Virreinatos. Much more closer to be considered as an autonomuos province... Colony is an Anglo business that ashame the world...please do not use this word at least for Spanish Crown territories use Overseas territories.
Regarding Portugal I am not sure if this apply too.
@@AntonioSanchez-kn9ts I will use the word because every definition of Colony and Metropolis fit Spanish Crown territories and Overseas territories.
You can argue with all historians around the world, if you want to.
@@rogeriopenna9014 I wont argue even with you. Lets say in my opinion this point has to be highlighted.....English and French are not interesting in such a disscusion with a XIX plenty of their "colonies" around the world in the name of their economic warfare. Many people is not aware that in net balance SpainCrown invested money in most of Virreynatos in America only Nueva España and Nueva Granada had a negative net balance. Thank you for understanding. By the way have to say your comment was very interesting. Hope you find interesting mine too.
@@AntonioSanchez-kn9ts the net balance of investments and what is taken from the territory doesn´t have a direct relation to the usage of the word Colony. And it's very doubtful that all the gold, plantations, etc, that Spain got, it was still negative. Plus, there are indirect benefits that can´t be calculated, like control of trade route, easier access to the Pacific and trade routes with east Asia (since Spain controlled territories with Pacific and Atlantic shores), etc, etc.
"a colony is a territory under the immediate complete political control and occupied by settlers of a state, distinct from the home territory of the sovereign."
"The metropolitan state is the state that rules the colony. In Ancient Greece, the city that founded a colony was known as the metropolis. "Mother country" is a reference to the metropolitan state from the point of view of citizens who live in its colony."
"a colony has no independent international representation, and its top-level administration is under direct control of the metropolitan state."
"En política, una colonia puede ser, o un asentamiento o forma de poblamiento (dado hasta el siglo XIX), o bien un territorio sujeto a la administración y gobierno de un país remoto, llamado metrópoli (siglo XIX). En una situación colonial, los nativos del territorio colonizado carecen de autonomía -aunque pueden estar políticamente representados en cuerpos gubernamentales- y están sujetos a la soberanía del gobierno metropolitano."

I wonder why Spain wasn't at the Congress of Vienna. Did the other European powers just ignored that Napoleon started to lose in Spain?
Spain signed a peace with Napoleon before the congress because our king Fernando VII was an idiot xD
Spain was too weak to show its presence in Vienna. But the Holy Alliance showed support for Spain in the Americas against rebels.
Napoleon did not started to lose in Spain. He had earlier few set backs too.
Everybody knew that Spanish alone can not won the war against France at that time.
Great powers Austria, France, Pruussia, Russia and United Kingdom did not want to invite more pretenders to European cake. They want to spit it betweem themselves and their acolites. These great powers did not want to strenthen Spanish or Ottoman declined Empires.
Spain was present at the Congress of Vienna, but it was not considered part of the "big 5" which were the 5 main powers in Europe at the time. Spain was considered a second-rank country. It has nothing to do with their contribution on Napoleon's downfall (after all, France which was the enemy and the defeated nation was still considered as one of the big 5), but about their power and influence in geopolitics.
Actually, the UK sell the spanish place at the congress yo France

Cádiz never falled to the french army. CÁDIZ was the only city free of Napoleón and it was the first "Constitución" of Spain in 1812
para lo que sirve la constitucion se la pasan por el culo todos los dias so payaso..
De hay las cortes de Cádiz, en 1812 después el perro de Fernando VII abolió y en América española la gente se reveló contra los Borbónes, al final los masones de apoderaron de nuestras tierras.
No, it isnt. Cadiz won to Napoleon with ressistence. When their city was besieged, the people of Cádiz invented the omelette to survive. After that they resist until the support arrives. Omelette is not french, it´s spanish. In Spain this omelette is called "tortilla francesa" (french omelette), so "tortilla de cuando los franceses" (omelette from spanish ressistence while french invasion). The first constitution in Spain is in Cadiz (1812), the first liberal constitution. Spanish created the concept of liberalism. During the 19´s century France, UK or Germany accepted the liberalism was the nicer model in world (Germany in last days of the century, France and UK in the half).

I've always loved these types of videos. Nice to see them return.
The Spanish war of independence was the time in which Spain suffered the greatest cultural destruction, the French soldiers set fire to churches, museums and libraries. D In fact, if a Spaniard tries to search for information about his ancestors, he may find little information from the 17th or even the 16th century, because so many documents were lost.
I am form Burgos. In this war, Burgos was a top logistic and defensive city due to his great location in the way France-Madrid and its medieval castle up in a hill.
In the time the french were in the city, the destroyed many churches and monasteries and they stole lots of religious items form those churches, kings and aristocracy tombs, etc.
When they had to retreat, they also put explosives in the castle and they blew it up, the wave was so intense that the medieval stained glasses of the cathedral broke up.
We have very bad memories from the napoleon army.
Aparte from the material losses, Spanish Independece War has been the worst spanish war in casualties because french soldiers did not hesitate in killing civilians, women and old people. On one side because in this moment Spain invented the Guerilla and constantly harassed french troops and on the other hand because they didnt know who could stab them in the back in a dark alley.
3 years ago a great recreation of this battles took place in the real scenarios in Burgos. For more information see these links:

@StillWatchingYou I am sorry but yes we did. We practice guerrilla warfare since the roman invasion. Thats why they call it guerrilla (Little war). The first time the term was used was in 1808, in the Napoleonic French invasion of Spain.
I am not speaking like nothing, I am just saying what happened in my town.
French people suffered napoleon? Wtf dude
@StillWatchingYou
oh wow poor french people suffering from what other french people did!
Quick curiosity. The portuguese city of Porto gained the nickname "invicta" (undefeated) after fighting and holding a fierce resistence towards the french
Which is why the square should of never been green as conquered by France...
Porto was taken by the French (during a short time)...
In Zaragoza, after the two sieges and her tough resistance, it received the titles of Very Heroic (Muy Heroica), Very Loyal (Muy Leal), Very Noble (Muy Noble) and Immortal (Inmortal).
@@jorgedelmoralmartin2998 isso também se diz no porto
That title came after the siege of Porto of 1832-1833, during the civil war of 1828-1834.

The first battle won against la grande armee was in Bailen, by General Castaños.
No
It was the Battle of Aspern-Eisling or something like that, in Austria
@@okguimacedo bailen was before aspern essling
I think saying grande armee would be wrong because grande armee was napoelons main army
What the spanish defeated at bailen was a part of the french army of spain
That's some Spanish propaganda, to make up for Spain's embarrassment and inadequacy during this war; because that is not at all true. Plus Napoleon's 'Grand Armée' was never deployed to Spain, they simply knew it was not necessary to take that many men. Especially men from Napoleon's elite, or experienced units that had fought for French independence, fought in the Egyptian campaign, the Italian/ Austrian campaign, Prussian / Germanic states campaign (Bavaria, Saxony etc.) and of course the Russian campaign in 1812. Napoleon knew it was going to be an easy fight, and it was, Spain didn't even fire a bullet until their revolts were legitimised by the Anglo-Portuguese alliance, that then acknowledged Spain as an ally, and no longer an enemy despite the past 400 or so years of context and history at that point. Though of course, as most generals back then, Napoleon underestimated the common man, as more French were killed by guerrilla activity than in actual formal battles (against British, Portuguese, regulars).

Why would you make an Allie turn into an enemy. Come on Napoleon. It was like “alright all of Europe wants me dead let’s add one more enemy to the list”.
Napoleon has a chance of conquering spain by 2 factors:
1) His marshals didn't even cooperated with each other
They would rather see one of them defeated, there is so many chance they could crush wellingtons army but this behavior of his marshals led to its downfall
2) not enough suchets
Napoleon invades Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria and Russia, for two reasons.
1) Because England is an island: only reason London wasn't invaded in 4 weeks.
2) Because Napoleon was the best strategist in history.
His strategies was only for battles, not guerrilla
@@Gloriaimperial1 Napoleon lost lmao
@@Gloriaimperial1 best strategist? Nah
@@remoosecode7558 and? Hannibal lost too and yet he is rightfully considered one of the best military minds in history. Winning or losing doesn't decide if you are great general. How you win and how you lose does.
Big strategical mistake, instead of ally he created enemy with a big population, and large armies, I can imagine 1814 where Spain saves France from protecting southern borders and Napoleon can concentrate more men at the North.
In Spain, this is called the Independence War
It triggered the independance wars in Hispanic America.
@@jockonde9661 It makes no sense to call it the war of independence. Spain was an empire 7 times bigger than the French. The French were also invaded by the Germans in 1940, and I don't think the French call that war a war of independence, which destroyed the French empire a few years later. The war name of independence is a term born in romanticism.
No fue una guerra de la independencia. España era un imperio 7 veces más grande y 3 veces más poblado que el francés. Invasiones han existido siempre. Fue una explosión militar francesa, como la de Hitler en 1940, invadiendo Francia. No creo que los franceses se hayan sentido parte de Alemania nunca. No creo que los alemanes, rusos o italianos, invadidos por Francia en esa época, llamen a esa guerra, guerra de la independencia. Es ridículo. Es una guerra napoleónica en España. El término nació en el romanticismo y se ha quedado, dando a entender erróneamente que España fue durante décadas o siglos parte integrante de Francia, con la aceptación española. Tanto como decir que Francia era alemana con aceptación francesa, lo que sería insultar a la resistencia francesa.
THE biggest mistake of Napoléon without doubt. With Spain 🇪🇦 in allies, no invasion of France. Nobody is perfect, even not Napoléon 🤷♂️😌🇨🇵🇨🇵
Bigger than the disastrous invasion of Russia???
@@Zveebo The Peninsula war destroyed step by step the Grande Armée's quality. The Army which invaded Russia wasn't as trained and as reliable as the Army of 1805-1807. Plus the French had to recruit within its "allies" to have as much soldiers as possible, and they weren't all loyal. The austrians and prussians litterally did nothing in Russia except some small and ridiculous offensives
Zveebo Yep. This is the war that defined the term “guerrilla warfare”. While the Spaniards/Portuguese didn’t have he upper edge, they made sure to make it hell for the French to remain there.
Napoléon made mistake to attack Russia during winter that's it. Look at the battles, they are almost all won until winter came. Disease, lack of food, cold, all these bad conditions reunite made Russia Campaign lost. Napoléon should attacked later
@@Raisonnance. He didn't invade Russia during winter, he invaded early in the summer, as you do, and fought several big but strategically indecisive pitched battles against the Russian army. The biggest battle of that campaign (Borodino) was fought in early September. By fall, nevermind winter, Napoleon had already lost most of the Grande Armée. What winter did was make sure very few of Napoleon's troops made it back to Poland.
Very interesting. It's amazing to see how much Wellington, Spain and Portugal did in the Peninsular War vs the all-powerful Napoleon.

And then the son of that same king declares independence and becomes emperor of Portugal's greatest colony (Brazil)... You got to love that damn royal family.
@@Snitram19 Then he will try to take the throne of Portugal later...
for some reason the Portuguese monarchy survived and also his independence
You know how the saying goes:

4:10 Soult and King Joseph recaptured Madrid in late Dec 1812 and reached Salamanca.
Greatly done. Good work!
4:01 Reconquista II
Portugal won, but it lost it's biggest colony after this.
King John VI of Portugal: Portugal did, not the Portuguese Royal House.
And that was a good thing.

Ollie !make a map for the 1930s Spanish civil war!
That was like the prelude for ww2 in Europe and Hitler tested many of his newest weapons there!
Very good, although you missed the I Spanish Republic, which is a point of paramount importance in modern Spanish History, its greates achievement being one of the first world modern Constitutions. I love the way you used the old administrative regions though.
What does the first Republic have to do with this?
In spain we call it the independence war
That's wrong Spain was an empire at that time a independent war is when a nation is created for the first time?
@@reubenruz7998 during the war Spain was basically a puppet of France, which is why it’s called the “war of independence”. They had a king called Joseph who was Napoleon’s brother, however the Spaniards called him “Pepe botella”
@@reubenruz7998 Napoleon wanted Spain to be an autonomous entity within the French empire with his brother as ruler, hence it was a war of independence
gotta love how the Spanish got their ass kicked as soon as Napoleon arrived
Spain might have emerged victorious but the devastation was so great instability would remain the norm until well into the XX century.
Here in Spain we call that war, Independence War.
Major Sharpe really did win the peninsular war single handedly.
Viva España, abajo el rey felón!!!
Sí, pero 1 millón de españoles han aceptado voluntariamente el sacrificio por el regreso de este rey.
Lol. You wanted your Bourbon king back. You got it. And you still have it 200 years later. A French king ! :)

You are not in the good video
England is an island, like Iceland and Japan (which was also not invaded by the Mongols). That's the only reason Churchill could smoke a cigar and make jokes. Otherwise that cigar would be up Churcill's or Elisabeth's or Nelson's ass.

Ollie Bye:K'dom of Portugal
Jesus why are all the top comments so sh*t?
@I it’s because he’s botting.
when in spain we call this war "spanish independence war" (la guerra de independencia española) and I saw the tittle of the video and said "wtf? when we had a war call like that?"
the british call this war "Peninsular war"
We French just call it "Spain campaign" and "the first, the second and the third invasion of Portugal".
Interesting to see these maps and how their geographical appearance throw a shadow forward over the Spanish civil war.
UK is everywhere.
All modern age was alliances and wars between Spain, Portugal, France and UK, depending on the time, the wars, that allys or enemies was changing between them.
Regards
The level of Spanish/ Portuguese (mainly Spanish) propaganda in the comments is appalling. Just shows what happens when inadequate generals and politicians decide to revise the history of their nations success and its exploits. Much love to Portugal though.
I'm not sure if I love or hate "Kingdom" being written as "K'dom"
I hate K’dom
“Hey where were you born”
“In the K’DOM”
3:52 Wellington has entered the game
Wellington was in the war since 1808
Como español, he de decir gracias a Inglaterra por esta guerra, pero seguiré meando en su dirección, ya que tengo dignidad y orgullo,
Love the music it's so catchy.
amazing work thank you so much
The French were defeated in Portugal by an Anglo-Portuguese army under the command of Arthur Colley Wellesley, later to become the Duke of Wellington, the hero of Waterloo ...
luis manuel Wellington is no hero, he just another imperialism&monarchy advocater
@@大砲打老鷹 Yeah right. He's a hero in Spain Potrtugal and Britain. In most of Europe actually...except France
If u check out spanish history literally in almost every war spain was divided .

Napoleon's biggest mistake... Vassalize its Spanish ally...
Orgulloso de mi país, España un pueblo que luchó por su libertad, aunque desgraciadamente perdimos nuestro imperio...
Si hay una guerra de la que hay que estar menos orgulloso es esta. Acabamos con reyes incompetentes antes y después perdimos miles de hombres perdimos america del sur y después de tanto NI RECUPERAMOS ROSELLÓN. Que hay de esta guerra de la que estar orgulloso? Para que nos sirvió la libertad durante el resto del siglo XIX? Para rematar la faena en las colonias?
Im french and i can say to you that you are an eternal contry ! Proud and with a beautiful history, respect !
Ya llegaron los españoles llorones
Luego los alemanes invadieron Francia, y los franceses, holandeses, belgas y británicos perdieron sus imperios. Simplemente por la influencia que las revoluciones y guerras en Europa tuvieron en todos los imperios. Nuestro imperio era occidental, y los líderes independentistas tenían las mismas ideas y universidades que los líderes de las 13 colonias. Es más difícil que los indios, los africanos, los indonesios, los argelinos del norte de África, los vietnamitas o los filipinos se independicen antes del siglo XX.
I don't think I was the only one who was following along based on the Richard Sharpe novels. :)
Sad that Napoleon had to invade Spain for no reason, they were essentially a vassal of France anyway, since Manuel Godoy followed the French.
No. There was a popular insurrection in Spain followed by a coup that removed King Charles and Manuel Godoy from power. That's the main reason Napoleon decided to take control, he wanted to be sure that Spain would remain a stable ally and would not change his foreign policy. Of course he didn't predict the Spanish population would rebel against him and that he would make the situation far worse, he thought it would be like in Italy, Germany or Netherlands.
Napoleon was a bit of a bell end to be fair
Was he really though? Godoy sent a letter to the British promising an invasion of France if Napoleon lost against Prussia in 1806.
@@nicolas.p331 Si napoleón hubiera tratado a españa como un verdadero aliado y no como un vasallo (que no lo eran), esa carta no hubiera salido, por la alianza con francia España perdió TODA su fuerza naval en una invasión a la que los almirantes Españoles estaban en CONTRA, españa dio mucho por NADA, francia aliados pedorros de mierda.
@@ferchulanderful los Britanicos tenian muchas razones para ser hostiles con España, adivina quien les suministro armas a los independentistas en Latinoamerica ?
