The Battle of Salamanca saw an Anglo-Hispano-Portuguese army under Viscount Wellington defeat Marshal Auguste Marmont's French forces among the hills around Arapiles south of Salamanca, Spain on July 22 1812 during the Peninsular War. The battle was a succession of strokes in oblique order, initiated by the Portuguese cavalry brigade and Pakenham's 3rd division, and continued by the British heavy cavalry and the 4th, 5th and 6th divisions. The French left wing was routed.

  • The Battle of Salamanca saw an Anglo-Hispano-Portuguese army under Viscount Wellington defeat Marshal Auguste Marmont's French forces among the hills around Arapiles south of Salamanca, Spain on July 22 1812 during the Peninsular War. The battle was a succession of strokes in oblique order, initiated by the Portuguese cavalry brigade and Pakenham's 3rd division, and continued by the British heavy cavalry and the 4th, 5th and 6th divisions. The French left wing was routed. By chance, both Marmont and his deputy commander General Bonet were wounded by shrapnel in the first few minutes of firing. The French command confusion may have been decisive in creating the opportunity, which Wellington successfully seized and exploited. General Bertrand Clausel, third in seniority, assumed command and ordered a counterattack by the French reserve toward the depleted Allied center. It had some success but Wellington had sent his reinforcements to the centre, and they decided the fight in his favour. The losses were 3,129 British, 6 Spanish and 2,038 Portuguese against about 13,000 French. As a consequence of Wellington's victory, his army was able to advance to and liberate Madrid for two months, but then retreated back to Portugal. The French were forced to abandon Andalusia permanently, and the loss of Madrid irreparably damaged King Joseph's pro-French government.
  • Die Schlacht von Salamanca (22. Juli 1812) war ein wichtiger Sieg der alliierten Truppen aus Großbritannien und Portugal unter dem Oberbefehl Wellingtons gegen die französische Armee unter dem Oberbefehl Marschall Marmonts. Sie fand in der Nähe der Hügel der „Arapiles“ südlich von Salamanca in Spanien statt und wird daher in Frankreich auch Schlacht an den Arapiles (bataille des Arapiles) genannt.
  • La Batalla de los Arapiles (conocida por la historiografía inglesa como Batalla de Salamanca), uno de los enfrentamientos más importantes de la Guerra de la Independencia española, se libró en los alrededores de las colinas del Arapil Chico y el Arapil Grande, en el municipio de Arapiles, al sur de la ciudad de Salamanca, el 22 de julio de 1812. Tuvo como resultado una gran victoria del ejército anglo-hispano-portugués al mando del general Arthur Wellesley, primer duque de Wellington, sobre las tropas francesas al mando del mariscal Auguste Marmont. Los aliados sufrieron 5.220 bajas entre muertos, heridos y desaparecidos, de los cuales 3.176 fueron británicos, 2.038 portugueses y 6 españoles, mientras que el ejército francés perdió unos 12.500 hombres, incluyendo los prisioneros.
  • La bataille des Arapiles, appelée bataille de Salamanque par les Britanniques, fut livrée le 22 juillet 1812 aux Arapiles près de Salamanque, entre les troupes françaises commandées par Auguste Marmont et les troupes britanniques, espagnoles et portugaises sous le commandement de Arthur Wellesley, duc de Wellington. Les pertes ont été de 3 129 Britanniques et 2 038 Portugais contre environ 13 000 Français. On a dit que Wellington avait défait une armée de 40 000 hommes en 40 minutes. La conséquence a été que son armée a pu avancer et libérer Madrid, mais seulement deux mois plus tard.
  • Slaget vid Salamanca utkämpades utanför byn Salamanca i Spanien sommaren 1812, medan huvuddelen av Napoleons armé var upptagen i Ryssland. Arthur Wellesley, hertigen av Wellington, lyckades här besegra den s.k. franska Spanienarmén och därmed så kunde fransmännen drivas ut ur Iberiska halvön inom ett år. Man brukar säga att "Wellington besegrade 40 000 man på 40 minuter". Den franska armén var aningen mindre än den engelsk-spanska, och de allierade hade dessutom en mer kompetent ledning.
