    10 March 1831 - FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION IS FOUNDED: France's King Louis
    Philippe establishes a new military unit that he hopes will corral
    mercenaries and misbehavers, attract foreign fighters, and bolster his
    North African colonial expansion.

    The French Foreign Legion is a corps of the French Army that consists of several specialties: infantry, cavalry, engineers, airborne troops. It
    was created in 1831 to allow foreign nationals into the French Army. It
    formed part of the Armée d’Afrique, the French Army's units associated
    with France's colonial project in Africa, until the end of the Algerian
    war in 1962.
