Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, Comte de Rochambeau (1725-1807)
The Comte de Rochambeau was a French nobleman and general appointed by King Louis XVI to lend vital assistance to General George Washington during the American War of Independence.
His remarkable tactical and leadership skills were instrumental in achieving victory for the American Patriots at the Battle of Yorktown, Virginia (October 19, 1781).
The courage of the French soldiers and sailors who fought alongside the American Patriots during the War of American Independence led to the birth of a new nation – the United States of America.
Merci pour le partage !#Livre 📖 - Captivante lecture ce week-end du dernier ouvrage de Sabine Renault Sablonière « Quand les Américains étaient en Berry… ». Ce livre réunit Issoudun et Châteauroux autour des Américains. « C’est en découvrant les carnets de sa grand-mère que l’héroïne noue le fil américain reliant, pour le Berry, les deux grands conflits du XXè siècle, marqués par l’installation de bases aériennes US, en 1917 à Issoudun et en 1951 à Châteauroux. L’arrivée des Américains est salvatrice pour ces deux villes de l’Indre, dont l’économie n’a rien de florissant. Ce n’est pas pour autant que la population leur réserve un accueil enthousiaste. »
À lire sans attendre pour celles et ceux qui ont connu cette époque (celle de 1951-1967), une multitude de souvenirs va vous revenir ! 🇫🇷🇺🇸 ... See MoreSee Less
