ISBN: 9780806142784 / Angielski / Twarda / 492 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Napoleon s forces invaded Spain in 1808, but two years went by before they overran the southern region of Andalucia. Situated at the farthest frontier of Napoleon s outer empire, Andalucia remained under French control only briefly for two-and-a-half years and never experienced the normal functions of French rule. In this groundbreaking examination of the Peninsular War, Charles J.

Disillusioned by the Spanish provisional... Napoleon s forces invaded Spain in 1808, but two years went by before they overran the southern region of Andalucia. Situated at the farthest frontier...
