| Description | World War II cartoon shows Secretary of State Cordell Hull and President Roosevelt standing on a pier gazing approvingly at the French battleship Richelieu. In February 1943, the Richelieu, escorted by American destroyers, sailed into New York Harbor for repairs. The ship, along with several others, had been made available to the Allies by the French government in North Africa. Many observers saw it as a vindication of the U.S. government's policy of recognition of the French Vichy government at the beginning of the war. This government, though primarily a puppet of the Nazis, had refused to let the French navy fall to German control. |
