    An Ambiguous Partnership: Great Britain and the Free French Navy, 1940-19421 Hugues Canuel On se souvient aujourd’hui des forces de la France libre en raison de faits d’armes tels que leur courageuse résistance à Bir Hakeim en 1942 et la participation du général Leclerc à la libération de Paris en 1944. Par contre, la contribution antérieure de la marine de la France libre est moins bien connue : elle a donné à de Gaulle, dont l’espoir était alors bien mince, les moyens de mobiliser des appuis politiques au sein de l’empire colonial français et d’apporter une contribution militaire précoce à la cause des Alliés. Cette capacité s’est développée à la suite de l’appui modeste mais tout de même essentiel du Royaume-Uni, un allié qui se méfiait de fournir les ressources absolument nécessaires à une flotte qu’il ne contrôlait pas complètement mais dont les actions pourraient aider la Grande- Bretagne qui se trouvait alors presque seule contre les puissances de l’Axe. Friday 27 November 1942 marked the nadir of French sea power in the twentieth century. Forewarned that German troops arrayed around the Mediterranean base of Toulon were intent on seizing the fleet at dawn, Admiral Jean de Laborde – Commander of the Force de Haute Mer, the High Seas Force – and the local Maritime Prefect, Vice Admiral André Marquis, ordered the immediate scuttling of all ships and submarines at their berths. Some 248,800 tons of capital ships, escorts, auxiliaries and submarines was scuttled as the Wehrmacht closed in on the dockyard.2 The French “Vichy navy” virtually ceased to exist that day.

She was the last in a series of 5 vessels built in France for Compagnie Nationale Algerienne De Navigation. Throughout their trading life, they have ensured the export of Algerian natural gas from Arzew and Skikda ports to the clients of Sonatrach, the Algerian national oil and gas company. Montoir (France), le 14 March 2008. © Erwan Guéguéniat The 5 LNG tankers were all named after heroes of the Algerian war of independence. The Mostefa Ben Boulaïd, Larbi Ben M'hidi and Bachir Chihani built by Constructions navales et industrielles de la Méditerranée in La Seyne-sur-Mer were scrapped in Turkey in 2017 and 2018 (see "Shipbreaking" # 44, p 31 and # °48, p. 32-33), the Mourad Didouche built in Saint-Nazaire was deflagged, renamed Mourato and beached in Bangladesh in February 2019 (see "Shipbreaking" # 55 p. 41). The Ramdane Abane, the last of the series, is also the last to be scrapped. On October 27, 2014, loaded with 80,000 m3 of gas destined for the Turkish terminal of Botas in the Sea of Marmara, she suffered a blackout in the Dardanelles Strait.

  • ICV20 Breschi.Pub
    Flags in Italy under Napoleon’s rule Roberto Breschi Abstract At the beginning of March 1796 a shabby French army of 30,000 headed by a 28-year-old gen- eral, crossed the Alps toward Italy and rapidly went from one victory to another. The recently adopted French tricolor soon replaced the dusty flags of old principalities, though several new flags were also hoisted. The latter did not last more than a few months, but one of them would have a very long history. More new flags would appear later, as Napoleon's imperial ambition progressively choked off its earlier Jacobin spirit. We must not pass through this world without leaving traces that may commend our memory to posterity. Napoleon First part It is rather mysterious what induced a 28-year old French general, Napoleon Bona- parte, to leave his newly married wife Josephine and to lead a ragged and hungry army toward an apparently desperate offensive in Italy. Did he want to challenge himself? Or to recover his faraway Tuscan roots? On the other hand, he was born in Corsica and understood Italian better than French. Or rather it was the madness of the genius? The fact is that at the beginning of March 1796 little more than 30,000 ragged troops were poised to attack Piedmont. The Kingdom of Sardinia, that in 1793 had been forced to cede Savoy and Nice to France, was in that period allied to Austria. The two nations had an army of about 100,000 men, but less than half were drilled in fighting.

It appeared more or less quarterly from Issue 001-159 (2019), then twice-yearly from Issue 160 (2020).

During the ten years that it has been in existence, the ASP has been working towards professional independence and on the quality of official statistics. The creation of this institution was especially timely, as the information market was in the early stages of a period of radical transformation. Our historical position as a reference point for information concerning the socio-economic situation in our country must be continually reaffirmed in the face of the spread of fake news and misleading information.
