Plan of the Battle of Vitoria (21st June, 1813) during the Peninsular War. Shows the positions of the British and French armies.
Vitoria was a significant victory for the Duke of Wellington as it broke the French army and forced a large-scale retreat from Spain. Despite relatively even numbers, both in combatants and casualties, the outcome was considered a major British victory as almost £1 million of supplies were captured after the French retreat.
