"Histoire du Consulat et de l'Empire (Vol. 11 / 20)" by Adolphe Thiers is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume examines the military operations and political dynamics of the French campaigns in Spain during the year 1809, as well as Napoleon's strategies and the challenges faced by his generals. The text focuses on key events and battles involving French forces, particularly under the command of Marshals Soult and Victor, as they navigate through military conflicts against both the Spanish and British forces. The opening of the work sets the stage for the campaign of 1809, detailing the complexities of French military operations in Spain. It introduces the significant challenges faced by French generals due to a lack of unity in command, the insurgent activities of the Spanish, and the intervention of British forces. As the narrative unfolds, several key battles and strategic movements are highlighted, showcasing the difficulties in maintaining control over the territories and the increasing resistance from the local populations, which complicate Napoleon's ambitions in the region. This portion effectively illustrates the tension between military might and the realities of warfare amid a populace driven by patriotism and resistance against foreign invasion.
