THEY ARE BLEEDING!
SPANIARDS DEFEATED FRENCH AT BAYLEN
Yesterday , 19th July The Battle of Baylen , where the spaniards fought against french troops , took place.
It was the first time that spaniards got to defeat the french army in a openfield battle.
Napoleon is extremely furious because it was the first time he lost a battle.
The Boards of government of Seville (Supreme Board of Spain and the Indies) and Granada, under the presidency of Francisco de Saavedra, began the recruitment of two armies, which were to cut the road through Sierra Morena to the French.
In the showdown 21.000 french soldiers commanded by General Dupont faced against a spanish contingent formed by 27.000 men , commanded by General Castaños. It should be noted that more than half of the Andalusian army (About 17.000 soldiers) was made up of volunteers.
They won because of some circustances:the local population supported everything they could for their troops,the most decisive aid was the water supply for the soldiers on a very hot day of the Andalusian summer.Due to the high temperatures,French artillery was affected and many cannons were destroyed.
Because of that, Joseph I Bonaparte has to leave Madrid by force , obviously doubting the invincibility of the French.
Here we have a little video about this important battle:
I like your new because it is well explained and the video is quite good also. I appreciate that you have link the names of the important characters so that we can know who they were better.

I definitely like them more and more and I enjoy reading the news more. This time I find nothing that can improve in any group. You have all done great! Of this, what I value most is that you have given so much data (such as the number of soldiers or names of the most important commanders). And the videos apparently always help to make everything clearer, although the news is always very well written and they face without problem.

I think this news of very good quality. Firstly, about the redaction, it is very well distributed and written. I also appreciate that you have done a good information-searching job in facts like the victory partly beacuse of the water supply or the number of men. Finally, I think the video is OK as it recreates and explains the battle in a good way.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!

Quite elaborated
DeleteThis news it´s good in terms of information and use of links, but you still having the spelling mistakes with the commas and with this news double spaces, try to revise the news when you have finised of redacted it. Also in the paper version you left the hyperlinks. Try to keep this in mind for the next one.
