Full textThis thesis proposes a multidimensional history of the army of Mauritania since the French military conquest of the Western Sahara to the coup d’état of 10 July 1978 that inaugurated a long era of military governments. The colonial army, just like the colonial state, has its own characteristics. It develops, through its experiences, multiple adaptation strategies, both in terms of its organisation and military missions. Its two salient features are the double recruitment (that differentiates between sub-Saharan tirailleurs and « suppletifs maures » and the multiplicity of its missions (political, military, defense and policing).These specificities are partly inherited by the national armed forces through the transmission of military power (and domain ?). This process is particular contingent and must be analysed in all its complexity. This study of the effects of institutional transformations, linked to the analysis of the geopolitical stakes of the sub-region, demonstrates that local issues and dynamics are as significant as global ones. The study of the history of the Mauritanian army, gendarmerie and national guard since independance until the mid 1970s allows to identify the continuities, but also the trajectory of the postcolonial Mauritanian state, whose path is linked both to the agenda of local actors and the old colonial war

Full textEvery colonial administration used natives assistants to help it govern the colonial territories. The french colonial territories in central africa, known as french equatorial africa (a. E. F. ) as from 1910, did not escape from this rule. In fact, from the arrival of the french in the region in the middle of the nineteenth century until the four territories which made up the a. E. F. Federation (gabon, congo, central africa and tchad) became independent in 1960, many indigenous "allies" were integrated in the french colonial administration. This group of assistants was composed of differents kinds of individuals (traditional chiefs, interpreters, nurses, domestic servants, military men, militiamen, secretaries, ect. . . ). Although this group of people occupied the lowest positions in the colonial administration, they formed a distinct social category in the colonial society. To the extent that they became almost like a pressure group which the colonial authority had to take into account. After the second world war, this group of individuals benefited from the decolonization movements from which they emerged as the new local elites. In fact, it was the political-administrative assistants which later took over the direction of the four new countries of the former a. E. F. At time of independence in 1960

Full textThis research concerns the French officers contribution during the colonization of Africa and the quality of the african objects that they collected. It aims to study the exploration and the conquest of Africa at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. During this period, European countries sent in the different parts of the continent many explorers to colonize the population. Those explorers had different social classes and jobs. Among them, there were, for example, religious persons, administrators and soldiers. It is the colonial action of the French officers in the different countries of Africa (Mali, Senegal, Congo, Chad, Central Africa Republic…) that is studing. During the exploration travel, the colonial officers discovered in those countries different kinds of objects. According of the instructions they received in France before their travel, they collected the local objects as the arms, the royal objects, the music objects, the cooking objects, the objects of the traditional ceremony. It’s interesting to study where the objects provided and the conditions of the collect. It’s a best way to know the particularities of the result of the officers discoveries. At the end of the journey in Africa, the officers brought to France the result of the collect and offered the objects to the French museums as the Musée de l’Homme, the Musée de l’Armée. Today, the Musée du Quai Branly is conserving the documents about the exploration travels of many officers (Archinard, Brazza, Marchand, Tilho, Lenfant…) and some of the objects they had collected for studying the customs of the African populations. We interroged about 1500 objects they had collected. The history of those objects is associated to the Africa colonization history. Nowadays, those objects constitute a colonial heritage and permit to analyze the European vision and the military perception about the African material culture and to know the degree of the civilization of the African populations who made and used those objects in Africa at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th

Full textThis thesis studies the crises and reconfigurations of authority within the French am1y from 1954 to 1966. The Algerian war appears as the end point of many theoretical and practical writings aiming at endowing chiefs with initiatives and at establishing active submission on the part of soldiers. At the level of leadership, the Algerian war sanctions small chiefs' initiative that allows them to make their own rules. And yet, power relations are undermined by phenomena of competition between chiefs who fight between themselves to obtain honours and results. ln the context of a mass am1y many counter-power emerge to counter, cancel or sometimes collaborate with hierarchical authority. The soldiers become the cri tics of such practices and commit acts of resistance in the back of the hierarchy. By building on the TPF A of Constantine, we meticulously index and historicise the forms of disobedience recorded but we also describe the profiles of those who breached these power relations. These acts of disobedience are strong during the period of the beginning of the war between 1954 and 1957. During the high of the war (1957-1961), the acts of disobedience stay plenty but the sanctions only focus on the most serious cases thus giving the impression that they diminished. The end of the war ( 1961-1966), between the putsch and the departure of the French am1y, is marked by a crisis of discipline that leads to a series of reforms aiming at rebuilding the relations between the army and the citizen-soldiers

Resumo: Havia uma longa teia que ligava a Coroa portuguesa aos colonos que habitavam seu vasto império. Pela prestação de serviços, os habitantes do Ultramar se transformavam em vassalos, ao demonstrarem sua lealdade ao monarca português e serem recompensados por isso. Uma das vias encontradas pelos moradores da América Portuguesa para servir à Coroa foi por meio das armas, pelo combate a inimigos estrangeiros, negros e índios revoltosos, além do financiamento de expedições e batalhas. No caso da capitania de Pernambuco, a luta contra os mocambos de Palmares mostrou-se uma ótima oportunidade para servir à Coroa e posteriormente requerer mercês, como hábitos das Ordens Militares, tenças, postos militares e cargos de ofícios. Esta pesquisa foi pensada para trazer contribuições ao conhecimento da história militar colonial, tendo como pano de fundo as expedições enviadas para combater os mocambos de Palmares entre 1676 e 1679. Por meio da análise de alguns aspectos da organização e realização dessas expedições, objetiva-se compreender melhor o serviço de armas na capitania de Pernambuco e o modo como ele foi financiado e remunerado, criando laços entre os vassalos na América e a Coroa portuguesa
Abstract: There was a long web that connected the Portuguese Crown to the settlers of its vast empire. The Ultramar inhabitants could become vassals through their services, when they proved their loyalty to the Portuguese monarch and were rewarded for this. Some of the main ways found to serve the Crown was the armas (a kind of military service), the combat of foreign enemies or revolted Blacks and Indians, and the financing of military expeditions or battles. In seventeenth-century Pernambuco the fight against the mocambos of Palmares was seen as a great opportunity for those who desired to serve the Crown and thus require mercês (gifts) such as habits of Military Orders, tenças (regular payments), and military or civilian positions. This research was thought to bring contributions to the knowledge in colonial Brazil's military history, making use of the military expeditions sent to destroy the mocambos of Palmares between 1676 and 1679 as background. Through the analysis of some aspects of these expeditions, this research aims to reach a better understanding of the "serviço de armas" (a kind of military service) in Pernambuco and its finances and wages. It also desires to comprehend the effect of this kind of service in the relationship between the American vassals and the Portuguese Crown

Full textNow known as the Central African Republic, Ubangi-Chari was an integral part of the French colonial empire and entered the colonial wars from the very beginning of colonization. Like the other colonies, it entered word history by supporting France in war. Like the rest of the empire, this colony took part in an event which reached beyond its national borders and which linked it to the history of France. It participated in the war effort in two different ways, both militarily and economically by providing men and raw materials. The Ubangi-Chari infantry first carried out the different peace keeping; measures under the orders of the colonial forces, this participating in the conquest of their own colony. Secondly, during the First World War and operating mainly on the African continent, they helped to free Cameroun then under German supervision. During the Second World War, they were to be found in the middle-east (Syria, Lebanon) and in Libya (Bir-Hakeim). These battles took them to France where they actively participated in the liberation of enclaves taken over by the Germans on the Atlantic coast: the cities of Royan, La Rochelle and the Pointe de Grave. Finally, these units which were integrated in the French task forces in the Far East were involved in the Indochinese war: Lang-Son, Cao Bang, Nam Dinah and Dine Bien Phi. After this war, Ubangi-Chari troops were reorganized yet again by being involved in these tree conflicts, Ubangi-Chari soldiers acquired a strong military tradition, and because of this baptism of fire they were to form the base of the central African army after independence

Full textThe first french colonial empire had appeared at the time of Colbert and had survived until the First Empire, despite 7 important wars. Since 1674 specialized troops were sent from the Navy to the colonies. A swiss regiment was added in 1719. The defence system was planned during Maurepas'time from the naval dockyard of Rochefort. The military collapsus which had occurred during the Seven Years war compelled Choiseul to give the responsibility at the Army. In 1772 the Navy recovered it by creating colonial infantry and artillery regiments. The system worked well during the war of American Independence. But the Revolution forced to adapt. New colonial demi-brigades in the West Indies succeeded in mixing white and coloured men, and slaves ; unlike the East Indies where the troops of the ancient times were maintained. At the end, The Consulate decided to remove of these adaptations of the colonial army

Full textBy connecting history and anthropology, this thesis analyses the representations of the Thiaroye massacre, a repression of the tirailleurs sénégalais, Western African conscripts of the French army, in the Thiaroye camp on the outskirts of Dakar that took place on December 1st, 1944. First, it aims at documenting the event that, sixty years after, remains a controversial issue among the historians. Secondly, this thesis aims at analysing both the past and current use of this tragedy in different periods of time-scales. As a consequence, it helps to read the path of the post-colonial senegalese nation through the use of historical referents. This work dealing with the history of Thiaroye massacre is based on more than sixty interviews, the analysis of the works of art representing the event, different kind of archives (colonial sources and press journals published since 1945 until today), and the ethnographic investigation (for instance among the college students). The representation of the December 1st 1944 is currently one of the paradigms of the colonial memory in Senegal. By trying to describe the use of the past during more than sixty years, it is possible to consider the links between the dominant memory – official as well as unofficial – or the specific forms of remembrance and the role of this past in the some identity dynamics

Full textThis work on fighters' memory of the algerian war underlines the reflexion (thought) of a restrocpective look from a french point of view and from the algerian perception of the conflict. We try to confront fighters of the “ ALN ” with the image they convey and with the perception they have of the french combatants. This approach allows to take in account the opinion, the judgment of the other side, the same judgement against witch the french combatant fought. The vision of the french combatants is as much a matter of strategy as a matter of the evolution of the conscience. It reveals a certain state of the mind but above all, it constitutes in times of fighting a privilegied means of propaganda. The representation of the enemy (opponent) is linked to the rejection of the colonial system. The feeling of otherness (alterity) is influenced by the political nature of war. This work of reconstruction whose recollection makes up on the privilegied contributions of this thesis, comprises a corpus of seventy-nine testimonies from veterans of the “ ALN ”, recorded in Algeria and more particulary in Kabylia (the old wilaya III) between 1999 and 2002
