EDITORS COMMENTS
This intricately detailed map depicts Spain and Portugal during the tumultuous years of 1807-1814. During this period, the Peninsular War raged between the French forces led by Napoleon Bonaparte and the allied forces of Spain, Portugal, and the United Kingdom. The map is part of a larger collection of maps relevant to the campaigns between 1794 and 1815, a time marked by the French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic Wars. The map provides a comprehensive view of the Iberian Peninsula during this pivotal moment in history. The borders of Spain and Portugal are clearly marked, as are major cities, rivers, and mountain ranges. The map also highlights key military installations and strategic locations, offering insight into the military tactics and maneuvers that took place during this time. The map is from the collection of the former Buffs Regimental Museum, which holds a vast array of historical artifacts and documents related to the military history of the British Army. The Buffs, or the East Kent Regiment, played a significant role in the Peninsular War, making this map a valuable addition to the museum's holdings. The Peninsular War, also known as the Peninsular Campaign, was a turning point in the Napoleonic Wars, as it marked the first major defeat for the French forces on European soil. The war ended in 1814, with the signing of the Treaty of Vienna, which restored the Bourbon monarchy in France and redrew the map of Europe. This map offers a unique glimpse into the political and military landscape of the Iberian Peninsula during this time of upheaval and change.
