Review: France '40 Gold 16 Jan 4. Reding was killed and his army lost 3, men for French losses of 1, Napoleon now had all the pretext that he needed, while his force, the First Corps of Observation of the Gironde with divisional general Jean-Andoche Junot in command, was prepared to march on Lisbon. VI, p. At the last moment Sir John had to turn at bay at Corunna, where Soult was decisively beaten off, and the embarkation was effected. In all, the episode remains as the bloodiest event in Spain's modern history, doubling in relative terms the Spanish Civil War ; it is open to debate among historians whether a transition from absolutism to liberalism in Spain at that moment would have been possible in the absence of war. On 5 May, Suchet besieged the vital city of Tarragona , which functioned as a port, a fortress, and a resource base that sustained the Spanish field forces in Catalonia. The move was entirely successful. Corunna While the French were victorious in battle, they were eventually defeated, as their communications and supplies were severely tested and their units were frequently isolated, harassed or overwhelmed by partisans fighting an intense guerrilla war of raids and ambushes. Further information: Lines of Torres Vedras. The war on the peninsula lasted until the Sixth Coalition defeated Napoleon in , and it is regarded as one of the first wars of national liberation and is significant for the emergence of large-scale guerrilla warfare.

  • Marshal Louis Nicolas Devout in the Historiography of the Battle of Borodino
    SHS Web of Conferences 106, 04006 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/shsconf/202110604006 MTDE 2021 Marshal louis Nicolas devout in the historiography of the battle of Borodino Francesco Rubini* Academy of Engineering, Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, School of Historical Studies, Higher School of Economics, Moscow, Russian Federation Abstract. This article is dedicated to the study and analysis of the historiography about the participation of Marshal Davout during the Battle of Borodino of 1812. The article analyzes a number of sources of both personal and non-personal nature and the effect of the event on art. In the work are offered by the author professional translations of several extracts of historiography which have never been translated from Russian, and which are therefore still mostly unknown to the international scientific community. In addition, the article provides some statistical data on the opinion of contemporaries on the results of the Patriotic War of 1812. 1 Introduction «Скажи-ка, дядя, ведь не даром «Hey tell, old man, had we a cause Москва, спаленная пожаром, When Moscow, razed by fire, once was Французу отдана? Given up to Frenchman's blow? Ведь были ж схватки боевые, Old-timers talk about some frays, Да, говорят, еще какие! And they remember well those days! Недаром помнит вся Россия With cause all Russia fashions lays Про день Бородина!» About Borodino!». The battle of Borodino, which took place during the Russian Campaign of 1812, is without any doubt one of the most important and crucial events of Russian history. Fought on the 7th of September, it was a huge large-scale military confrontation between the armed forces of the First French Empire and its allies, led by Napoleon Bonaparte himself, and the Russian Army, commanded by General Mikhail Kutuzov, and is still studied as one of the bloodiest and most ferocious battles of the Napoleonic Wars.
