Marie Paul Louis Jaurès (18 August 1860 in Castres, Tarn – 30 October 1937) was a French admiral and deputy. He was the brother of Jean Jaurès. ==Biography== Jaurès was born at Castres, Tarn. After his studies at the École Navale, Louis Jaurès took part in the trials of the ''Gymnote''. In 1903, Jaurès was capitaine de frégate, in command of the ''Galilée''; he was sent to rescue five sailors abandoned in Africa by their employer, Jacques Lebaudy, who was attempting to establish his own country, the "Empire of the Sahara". Jaurès later took command of the ''Gloire''. The ship suffered an accidental explosion on 20 September 1911 which caused limited damage. Promoted to capitaine de vaisseau, Jaurès took command of the first-rank battleship ''Liberté'' on 24 November 1910. On 25 September 1911, as Jaurès was on shore leave, the ''Liberté'' was destroyed by an accidental explosion. He was put on trial and slandered by the right-wing press, but was acquitted by the court martial. During the First World War, Jaurès was préfet maritime of Cherbourg. Jaurès reached the rank of vice-admiral, and took up a political career as a Socialist-Republican deputy for Paris. He died in the latter city in 1937. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louis Jaurès」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
