520 _a"Colored Troops in the French Army" by United States. Department of State is a historical document published in the early 20th century, specifically in the early 1920s. The book is a report addressing concerns regarding the conduct of French colonial troops, particularly black soldiers, in occupied territories of Germany after World War I. It likely discusses the political and social implications of these troops' presence, focusing on allegations of misconduct and the responses from both the American and French governments. The document details the investigations into allegations against the French black troops stationed in the Rhineland, addressing claims of misconduct, particularly against German women. It presents a narrative that refutes many accusations as exaggerated or politically motivated propaganda, clarifying the numbers and origins of the troops involved and the steps taken by the French military to address any legitimate complaints. Notably, the report emphasizes the existence of serious oversight by the French military authorities in response to allegations, as well as the broader context of the post-war political climate influencing public opinion about these troops.
