Napoleon's invasion of Spain was costly for the French primarily due to the fierce resistance from Spanish guerrillas, who engaged in a protracted and disruptive campaign against French forces. This unconventional warfare stretched French resources thin and forced them to commit large numbers of troops to maintain control over occupied territories. Additionally, the invasion sparked widespread nationalist sentiments, leading to further uprisings and complicating French military efforts. Ultimately, the prolonged conflict drained French manpower and resources, contributing to Napoleon's overall decline.
