		Ivry was the most important battle in the French Wars of Religion; victory there allowed a Protestant Henry to ascend to the French throne and establish the Bourbon dynasty, although he converted to Catholicism to soften the political transition.
		Two key battles during this period were the Battle of Toulouse and the Battle of Tours, both won by the Franks, and both instrumental in slowing Islamic incursions.
		The battle led to a breakdown in the Anglo-German alliance and may have even emboldened the nobles of King John to force him to sign the Magna Carta.

		If her departure from Germany to China had not been delayed due to neutrality laws, she would have outgunned any French opponent at the battle of Foochow during the Sino-French war.
		However she incorporated the typical design problems that are encountered in the designs of her time throughout the world: thick armour on certain places leaving large unprotected areas, main guns with poor arcs of fire causing blast damage to the own ship, slow rate of fire combined with small secondary armament, and low free board.
		She suffered badly at the Yalu River Battle and eventually surrendered to the Japanese when Wei-Hai-Wei was captured.

		The history of the French Navy goes back to the Middle Ages, when it was defeated by the English at the Battle of Sluys and, with Castilian help, managed to beat the English at La Rochelle.
		In a very impressive effort, the French under de Grasse managed to defeat an English fleet at the Battle of the Chesapeake in 1781, thus ensuring that the Franco-American ground forces would win the ongoing Battle of Yorktown.
		Efforts to make it into a powerful force under Napoleon were dashed by the death of Latouche TrÃ©ville in 1804, and the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, where the British all but annihilated a combined Franco-Spanish fleet.

	BattleFlags
		The origin of the submarine battle flag in World War II is a matter of some speculation, because before 1942, U.S. submarines did not own or display them.
		During late 1942 or early 1943, however, it became customary for a broom to be tied to the shears of a submarine returning from a successful patrol, indicating that it had made a “clean sweep” or sunk everything possible.
		Thus, on the Submarine Battle Flag – of which Barb’s is such a great example – was born.

		A Japanese fleet under Admiral Isokuru Ito was attempting to disrupt the landing of Chinese troops protected by a fleet under Admiral Ting Ju ch'ang.
		The Japanese fast cruisers veered to port and were then despatched by Ito to go to the assistance of the Hiyei, Saikyo and Akagi which had been unable to keep up with the main line and had then been engaged by the lefthand vessels of the Chinese line.
		At the same time, it is fair to note that the Chinese suffered more from poor quality munitions - some of the shells fired by the PingYuen, for example, hit the Japanese Matsushima but failed to explode, being filled with cement rather than high explosives.

		Unlike in the French army and air force, one does not prepend mon to the name of the rank when addressing an officer (that is, not mon capitaine, but simply capitaine).
		[4] This custom is sometimes said to date back to the Battle of Trafalgar, when Napoleon decided that French Navy officers did not deserve to be called "monsieur" (mon being here elliptical for monsieur).
		Addressing a French Navy lieutenant de vaisseau (for instance) with a "mon capitaine" will attract the traditional answer "Dans la Marine il y a Mon Dieu et mon cul, pas mon capitaine !
