The '''Peninsular War''' was a war between [[Napoleon Bonaparte|Napoleonic France]], [[Spain]] and [[Great Britain]] from 1808 to 1813.  The [[Duke of Wellington's]] combination of traditional tactics and [[guerrilla warfare]], the latter mainly carried out by Spanish partisans, forced Napoleon to keep a large force in Spain and therefore contributed to the weakening and eventual fall of his empire.  It also tied up a large part of the British Army and its best commanders, including Sir John Moore, keeping them out of the [[War of 1812]].
