Peninsular War

The Peninsular War was fought between France, led by Napoléon Bonaparte, and Britain in Portugal and Spain.

Following the Battle of Trafalgar, Napoleon had invaded Spain along with Portugal. During the war, six of Napoleon's marshals, comprising the majority, were defeated by Arthur Wellesley one after another, battle after battle, victory after victory. (PROSE: World Game) It was one of the Earth conflicts from which the War Lords took combatants for their War Game. It was given its own zone. (TV: The War Games)

Spain and Portugal remained in perpetual revolt, forcing Napoleon, surrounded by his enemies, back to Paris where he was forced to abdicate. (PROSE: World Game)

Major General Robert Ross was a veteran of the Peninsular War. (AUDIO: Washington Burns)
