Spain was already his ally, so there was no reason to invade them.
Collectively the whole operation took more resources than Russian invasion.
He lost 200,000 men which he would have needed to recover after Leipzig.

Spain was a big frickup but he lost half a million men in Russia
Yeah, and within three months.
As a comparison the 200,000 lost in Spain were spread over 8 years
>e 200,000 lost
Not "lost". They died because Spanish civilians (with frying pans and guerrilla tactics) destroyed them and because Spanish civilians did not want to be under the foot of a foreign power.
So, those 200.000 means nothing. The relevant thing here are the 500.000 Spaniards that were killed by those bastard napoleonic troops just because they Spaniards wanted to defend their cities against the barbarie that Napoleon brought there.
Imagine if the US marines went around the 20 main french cities and ....started to open fire to the civilians and if they did not want to submit to them they would be executed.
Napoleon was one of the worst bastards that ever existed on European History. I don´t get why some people praise him.
>Imagine if the US marines went around the 20 main french cities and ....started to open fire to the civilians and if they did not want to submit to them they would be executed.
Bruh, America did worse than that.
They literally firebombed (and later nuked) Japanese cities from above without giving the civilians below any chance to submit or anything.
On 10 march 1945 they wiped out 100,000 civilians in one night
>without giving the civilians below any chance to submit or anything.
Literally dropped flyers letting them know it was coming
they made a mistake that Spanish can read
jfc take your meds dude
The United States should have just surrendered to the Japanese Empire. It's heckin bad to kill people in war, you know.
This but unironically. Japan was much more morale than the US was. I wish we lived in a world dominated by Japan instead of the US. At least they cucked the US culturally speaking.
I don't care about Shitler though.
>500.000 Spaniards that were killed by those bastard napoleonic troops just because they Spaniards wanted to defend their cities
Wow, you mean soldiers sent to conquer a country fought and killed rebels who took up arms to stop them? Crazy!
>Imagine if the US marines went around the 20 main french cities and ....started to open fire to the civilians and if they did not want to submit to them they would be executed.
You're asking me to imagine that American soldiers sent to conquer a country would kill civilians if they arm themselves and try to stop them?
Nah I can't even imagine that, surely US troops would just cancel the invasion and go home if some insurgents tried to stop them.
>Wow, you mean soldiers sent to conquer a country fought and killed rebels who took up arms to stop them? Crazy!
Yes. For example when the Spaniards attacked the Netherlands they never harmed the civilian. Only subhumans would do that. The truth is that French resented Spain for what Caesar did to the gauls almost 2 millenia earlier.
>xir so obsessed that he didn't get that they were talking about Japanese
>For example when the Spaniards attacked the Netherlands they never harmed the civilian.
Hahahahahaha what is rape of Antwerp?
Have you ever seen dutch women? You just have to mention that you're Spanish or Italian to them and they will be naked the second after. There was no rape, only consensual relationship.
>After the siege, the Dutch fleet on the river Scheldt was kept in position, blocking the city's access to the sea and cutting it off from international trade. Parma stationed experiencedCastiliantroops within Antwerp to make sure the city would not fall into enemy hands. The moderateness of Parma's demands and the behaviour of his troops were a complete surprise given the bloodiness of the siege and the rampage of 1576. Parma issued strict orders not to sack the city. The Spanish troops behaved impeccably, and Antwerp's Protestant population was given four years to settle their affairs before leaving.
1576 was a mutiny btw, expressly against the spanish officers' orders. that was not even close to the usual treatment of civilians during the 80 years war.
When Napoleon's troops invaded the Netherlands and Germany, they also didn't harm civilians, as said civilians didn't resist.
Spaniards brought it upon themselves by starting a guerrilla warfare.
>they also didn't harm civilians
They did. Just not one the same scale because they didn't dare to fight back
Also why wouldn't civilians resist an alien occupation by a foreign race? By your logics they should have accepted muslim rule too.
I'll keep what you say in mind next time (so at most, tomorrow) I read about a frenchman who was stabbed to death because he fought back against a muslim bully
Point is if you decide to fight back, you can't whine and claim to be some innocent civilians when you get treated as en enemy fighter.
None of this shit is specific to Napoleon's war in Spain, it's what happens every time civilians engage in armed insurgency.
Occupying troops arent going to let themselves get killed just because their opponents wear no uniforms.
>Also why wouldn't civilians resist an alien occupation by a foreign race?
>A foreign race which is the same race as their king
yeah bros the Bourbons who are a mix of all europe high nobility are totally the same genetically to the random Black person peasant in Auvergne or Limousin
Also Napoleon wasn't even French
A random peasant from Auvergne or Limousin is probably closer genetically to the average Spaniard than the average gigamutt aristocrat.
No. The Pyrenees is the biggest genetic barrier in the world. A French has more in common genetically and culturally with a Chinese than with a Spaniard.
(You)
Now frick off back to IQfy moron
>, you mean soldiers sent to conquer a country
They were not sent to conquer a country. Napoleon fooled Spanish king to "let them go to Portugal to conquer them" and once in Spain they started to try to submit the natives.
So according to you if someone goes to your house with arms and want to submit you and rape your sister/wife you should stay with your hands in your pockets right?
"Rebels" says the moron. They were the natives fighting for themselves in their own houses, villages and country.
If you read the chronicles you will see that most of the harm done in dutch cities were done by german and italian mercenaries that fought for the Tercios and even the Spanish soldiers protected the churches where the dutch went to hide.
>"Rebels" says the moron. They were the natives fighting for themselves in their own houses, villages and country.
That's what rebels usually are.
No rebels are people who defy the established authority. Joseph Bonaparte never was the established over Spain.
>Be a backstabbing "ally"
>Ally decides to punish you
>REEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Yes. Napoleontards can't complain about Spanish resistance.
>Occupying troops arent going to let themselves get killed just because their opponents wear no uniforms.
The Guerilla was in retaliation of violence against civilians moron. Why do you think there was no guerrila warfare in 1820?
The biggest mistake of the masonic midget was not killing himself on time before destroying Europe for nothing.
you're still not white T H O
Whiter than you
Neither was Napoleon. He was E1b and Corsicans are uber meds anyway.
are the stories about french soldiers raping captured spanish men true?
>raping
they liked it
>that moment when Napoleon told to bring him captured Spanish nuns and raped them on the eyes of captured Spanish king and his son
bruh
Hot take: French colonialism in Africa started in 1808 rather than in 1830
Because Africa begins at the Pyrenees
It could have but since they failed 1830 is the correct date.
That like saying Black Sea steppe a gateway to Asia instead anatolian peninsula
The irony is that Corsicans are closer genetically to Africans than Spaniards. If Spaniards are moors Napoleon is darkest Black person to have ever came out of Africa.

How am I wrong though? You think Paul Pogba or Kylian Mbappe would pass as native in Spain?
