Revolutionary Era

The campaign by Napoleon's First French Empire and its allies to subjugate Spain and repel foreign interventions by France's enemies in the wake of Napoleon's forced abdication of the Spanish monarch Ferdinand VII in 1808. What started as a relatively brief initial conquest quickly transitioned into a quagmire of guerilla fighting for the French occupying forces.

Inside this Archive

3 titles · in the order the archive depicts them. A series counts once, regardless of however many of its episodes carry the tag.

Cinematic Introduction

Every title set during the Peninsular War, by the decade it came out. A series is placed on the chart by its first season and counts as one title entity.

Cast of Characters

The historical people the archive’s titles put on screen in this period, grouped by what they are known for. The number is how many titles set here they appear in.

Historical Threads

A thread follows one event or historical theme across the archive, wherever and whenever it appears. Pulling a thread opens up a narrowed timeline view filtered to every year that thread touches.

Places Connected to this Period

Every place the archive’s titles set in this period name, with each one nested under the larger place it sits inside where that place is here too. The number is how many titles set here name it.

Saltiness Across the Period

No title set here has been given a saltiness score yet. That is unrated, which is not the same as accurate.

Directors

Films only. Co-directors are counted individually, so a director’s solo work and their collaborations are grouped together. Average saltiness ignores any title still unsalted.

Also on the Timeline

Part of and part of it are declared by the archive: one period counted as belonging to another, whatever their dates. Periods overlap freely so concurrent means the two spans share years, and the shared stretch is named. Bounded means it lies wholly inside this one, beginning and ending more than 10 years within its boundaries. Before and after are the nearest periods lying outside this one, with the gap in years shown instead. A shared thread is what the two have in common besides the calendar, and a period lying wholly outside this one can still share one.

Periods before, during, inside and after Peninsular War, with their year ranges, the years they share with it, the threads they share with it, and how many titles the archive holds of each.
