-
In 1877 a general called Mac-Mahon,
-
who had fought in the 1870/71 war--
-
you may think that that's not a very French name;
-
there's a strong Irish influence around Bordeaux.
-
In fact,one of the great Bordeaux wines is called Lynge Barge,
-
lynge as in lynch,which is an Irish name.
-
But,Mac-Mahon was French,
-
and that he is a general and becomes president of the State,
-
and he tries in 1877,on the sixteenth of May,
-
to overthrow the government,
-
and basically a question of responsibility to whom--
-
it's not interesting--he fails to do that,
