dbpprop:abstract
  • The Battle of Saint Cast was a military engagement during the Seven Years War on the French coast between British Naval and Land expeditionary forces and French coastal defence forces. During the Seven Years War Britain mounted numerous amphibious expeditions against France and French possessions around the world. In 1758 a number of expeditions, then called ‘Descents’, were made against the northern coast of France. The military objectives of the descents were to capture and destroy French ports, divert French land forces from Germany, suppress privateers and spread panic and confusion in France. The battle of Saint Cast was the final engagement of a descent in force that ended in disaster for the British.
  • La bataille de Saint-Cast fut livrée en 1758, autour de Saint-Malo. Elle vit une tentative de débarquement britannique repoussée grâce aux fortifications de Vauban et à la pugnacité des habitants de la région.
