How many people died during the Peninsular War?

If you go to the Napoleon series sight below you will find some figures for the British and French Armies, you will have to click on each army and then the campaign. Figures for Spain and Portugal are not included. Wiki has figures for three of the main battles. Talavera 1809 13,300 Salamanca 1812 18,800 Vitoria 1813 13,000 You are not going to get an overall death toll, this was not a war like those since 1945 where someone kept a tally of all the dead. You can get rough figures for those killed in battles; if you have lots of time and speak French, Spanish and Portuguese you might be able to get records for the different regiments, but that will not include the civilian deaths, and there were lots of those. Major cities might have some figures for the death toll in sieges, but not a running total. In the countryside where the Spanish conducted a guerrilla war small communities could have been destroyed and you won’t be able to find anything on the internet.
