The Loire army won the greatest success of the French during the whole war at Coulmiers, and followed this up with another victorious See also:action at Patay; in both engagements ' General Chanzy's corps took the most brilliant part. After the second See also:battle of Orleans and the separation of the two wings of the French army, Chanzy was appointed to command that in the See also:west, designated the second army of the Loire. His enemies, the See also:grand See also:duke of See also:Mecklenburg, See also:Prince See also:Frederick See also:Charles, and General von der Tann, all regarded Chanzy as their most formidable opponent. He displayed conspicuous moral courage and constancy, not less than technical skill, in the fighting from See also:Beaugency to the Loire, in his See also:retreat to Le Mans, and in retiring to See also:Laval behind the See also:Mayenne. As See also:Gambetta was the soul, Chanzy was the strong right See also:arm of French resistance to the invader. He was made a grand officer of the See also:Legion of See also:Honour, and was elected to the National See also:Assembly. At the outbreak of the See also:Commune, Chanzy, then at See also:Paris, See also:fell into the hands of the insurgents, by whom he was forced to give his See also:parole not to serve against them. It was said that he would otherwise have been appointed instead of Mac Mahon to command the army of See also:Versailles. A See also:ransom of £40,000 was also paid by the government for him. In 1872 he became a member of the See also:committee of defence and See also:commander of the VII. army corps, and in 1873 was appointed See also:governor of Algeria, where he remained for six years. In 1875 he was elected a See also:life senator, in 1878 received the grand See also:cross of the Legion of Honour, and in 1879, without his consent, was nominated for the See also:presidency of the See also:republic, receiving a third of the See also:total votes.
