Duration of siege edit

The book A Global Chronology of Conflict: From the Ancient World to the Modern Middle East says the seige was almost two years, but this wiki said one year when I started on it. I updated it to two since nothing was referenced before and that book seems legit. I don't really know myself. Tripnoted (talk) 07:40, 24 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

I searched a little on google and it seems that the siege took from July 1832 to August 1833, but the war has taken some more months to end.-Ilhador- (talk) 17:30, 24 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
Well if you've got a good source for it, post them up or make some changes. The book I mentioned says "The siege lasts for more than two years, until August 1834. General Joao Carlos de Saldanaa finally breaks the seige following the capture of Lisbon."" (p. 1,158). Tripnoted (talk) 18:09, 24 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
