The French Foreign Legion (French: Légion étrangère) is a unique unit in the French Army, established in 1831. The legion was specifically created after the July Revolution of 1830. Since foreigners were forbidden to enlist in the French Army, the Legion was created to allow France a way around this restriction. The Legion was also seen as a convenient way to dispose of numerous recently-displaced foreign nationals by sending them to fight for France.
