| 1.1766 | In January 1766, Suffren, who seemed inactive on the ground, picked up his pen and again asked Minister Choiseul to be part of the mission which was to go to Morocco to negotiate peace there. Suffren says he wants to study the country and possibly participate in the negotiations, claiming to bring "as much goodwill as disinterestedness". Cautiously, he also seeks a command for the colonies, if none of his demands are met. A daring request, even taking into account the satisfaction he obtained in his previous mission, but which is accepted. | FWIKI | ||
