1812 in Iberia was heavily conditioned by the Napoleon's invasion of Russia.

1812 was a major transition year for the war in Iberia.  Wellington defeated Marmont's Army of Portugal in the course of an afternoon and drove King Jospeh out of Madrid.  The French were able to recover thanks to superior manpower.  However, in order to concentrate the men that would drive Wellington back to the border fortresses the French had to give up about a third of Spain.

This year sets the stage for the French defeat at Vitoria in 1813.
