1808 confusion

Some clarification of the narrative is needed. Junot's (presumably) French army crosses Spain and occupies Lisbon, then becomes a "Portuguese Legion" and withdraws to Germany. But later, the British pick up Spanish troops from Germany - how did they get there? Meanwhile the Spanish revolt against the French occupation of Madrid - but this is the first mention of Madrid, or any of Spain, being occupied by the French.

Rename to Spanish War of Independence

Peninsular war is systemic bias and Anglo-centrism. --Montecarmelo0 (talk) 15:08, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Peninsular War honestly sounds pretty objective to me, as well as being the common name in English. What other name could we use? METRANGOLO1 (talk) 12:17, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

As is covered in the lead, they are two seperate, albeit overlapping, wars, the peninsular war covers portugal, and france as well. No other name is required for this articles content. Erik Sergeant (talk) 13:39, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Spanish War of Independence

This is listed as an alternate name right now, but the intro says that the Peninsular War is "thought to overlap with the Spanish War of Independence." These sound like two different situations. Can someone clarify? Jtbwikiman (talk) 23:12, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
