NAPOLEON INVADES SPAIN

1-OSG211

A series of defeats provoked Napoleon to lead 200,000 men into the Peninsula. The British attacked near Burgos but were soon forced into a long retreat punctuated by the battles of Sahagun, Benavente and Cacabelos, ending in an evacuation from Coruna in January, 1809. Moore was mortally wounded while directing the defence of the town in the Battle of Coru?a. After only two months in Spain, Napoleon handed command over to Marshal Soult and returned to France, to prepare for renewed hostilities against Austria.
