     in 1776 Benjamin FRANKLIN [#]
                 arrived to PARIS and King LOUIS XVI
     donated 1 million pounds for the soldiers
     of General G WASHINGTON
     in 1777 General G WASHINGTON
             besieged by the BRITISH in Morristown
     was practically rescued by FRENCH assistance
     LAFAYETTE convinced King Louis XVI to
     send an expeditionary army of 6000 soldiers
     in February 1778 a treaty of Friendship and
                      Commerce declared that FRANCE
     supported the INDEPENDENCE of the AMERICAN COLONIES
     in June 1788 BRITAIN to declare WAR on FRANCE and
                  FRANCE sent its first fleet under
     Charles Hector D'ESTAIGN [#] an ancestor of
     the future President of France
     Valery Gisgard D'ESTAIGN [#]
     in 1780 the FRENCH fleet under
             Admiral DE GRASSE [#] and
     FRENCH troops under General ROCHEMBEAU [#]
     blocked the escape of the BRITISH from Virginia
     which led to their defeat under General
     CORNWALLIS [#] in Yorktown

  hx>  Sigmund FREUD [#] and PSYCHOANALISTS
       stress that
  LIBIDO is a "PSYCHIC FORCE"
  mostly related to DEGREES OF SEXUAL DESIRES
  thus related to DEGREES OF "WISH"
  note ART and HISTORY
       SUPPORT THE VIEW THAT MUCH OF OUR
  PSYCHIC DRIVE or FORCE
  RELATES TO SEXUAL MATTERS as per
  BONDING or "ATTACHMENTS"
  opp are "ATTACHMEMT DISORDERS"
