∙ 12y agoNapoleon fought Portugal in the Peninsular because the Portuguese regent Prince would not allow the Blockade on Brittish ships to be in effect. Considering the oldest European diplomatic Alliance, (1387) the portuguese sovereign never implemented the Empereror's prohibition concerning harbour to British merchant ships. In conlusion with the spanish, the french army invaded Portugal where joint Anglo-portuguese forces where 3 times able to expell the intrudors. Trenches warfare and torn land policies were used in the response to the last invasion and latter on inspired the Russians in their own resistance.
