Bataille de La Corogne

Description

La bataille de La Corogne fut l'une des batailles de la guerre d'indépendance espagnole qui eut lieu le 16 janvier 1809 et opposa les 16 000 Britanniques sous le commandement de Sir John Moore aux 16 000 Français du maréchal Jean-de-Dieu Soult.À la suite de la Convention de Cintra, du rapatriement de l'armée française après la bataille de Vimeiro, les commandants de l'armée britannique furent rappelés en Grande-Bretagne, y compris Sir Arthur Wellesley, pour y répondre devant une commission d'enquête. En conséquence, le corps expéditionnaire britannique au Portugal fut laissé sous les ordres de Sir John Moore, un commandant militaire qui jouissait d'une certaine notoriété pour avoir réformé la tactique de l'infanterie légère.
