Memeskia Memeskia ( c . 1695 – June 21 , 1752 ) , known as " Old Briton " by the British and as " La Demoiselle " by the French , was an eighteenth - century Piankashaw chieftain who fought against the French in 1747 . In November 1750 , he signed a friendship treaty with the British Indian agent , George Croghan , which was cemented during a visit by Indian scout Christopher Gist in February 1751 . A prominent member of the Piankashaw tribe , Memeskia was one of the earliest opponents of the expanding French presence in North America regarding their dominance , monopoly and lower barter prices in the fur trade of the western Great Lakes region , as they sought to expand New France . In 1747 , Old Briton ( as he was then known ) , led a rebellion with a confederation of local tribes , against local French settlements successfully attacking Fort Miami at Kekionga . In the late 1740s , he led a band of the Piankashaw tribe , known as the Tewightewee , from the Indiana wilderness east along the St . Marys River to Loramie Creek , and settled near the confluence of Loramie Creek and the Great Miami River , a day ' s journey from the Loramie Summit . Old Briton established his village of Pickawillany in the Ohio Country , and in 1750 allowed a trading post and nearby stockade for early British traders and settlers from Pennsylvania , in defiance of French claims to the region . The village quickly gained notoriety as a frontier outpost , but only for a short time ; the location would later develop as Piqua , Ohio . Rival tribes , loyal to France and under métis chieftain Charles Langlade , attacked Pickawillany in June 1752 , with a force consisting of around 240 Ottawa and Ojibwa . They eventually captured three of the British traders and killed several tribesmen . Memeskia , to symbolize the victors ' extreme distaste for his friendship with the English , was boiled and ritually cannibalized . Langlade ' s raid on Pickawillany , which drove British traders out of the Ohio Country , was one of the events leading up to the French and Indian War . The Tewightewee fled the region , paving the way for settlement by the neighboring Shawnee . Memeskia was an Miami Indian .
Henri Navarre Henri Eugène Navarre ( 31 July 1898 , Villefranche - de - Rouergue , Aveyron – 26 September 1983 ) was a French Army general . He fought during World War I , World War II and was the seventh and final commander of French Far East Expeditionary Corps during the First Indochina War . Navarre was in overall command during the decisive French defeat at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu . In May 1953 , Navarre replaced Raoul Salan as commander of French forces in Indochina , in the midst of a war with the Viet Minh that was going badly for the French . Navarre was charged to bring the war to an honorable end . He quickly switched the French strategy from defensive to offensive operations . Navarre created mobile strike forces and sent a large number of troops to Dien Bien Phu , where they would sit on an important Viet Minh transport route and also perhaps draw the Viet Minh into a pitched battle in which the French forces would presumably have complete air and artillery superiority . However , the French underestimated the capacity of the Viet Minh , who managed to place the French position under heavy artillery fire and eventually achieved a decisive victory that more or less ended the First Indochina War . Navarre retired in 1956 . In the same year he published " Agonie de l ' Indochine " , a work which blames the Indochina defeat on the nature of the French political system , intellectuals , politicians , journalists , and Communists . The book warns of the possible necessity for an army coup to replace the French Fourth Republic . He died in Paris in 1983 . Decorations . He received 1500 citations during his career .
