Port on the Garonne, capital of Aquitaine, SW
France, a centre for the wine trade, oil
refining, and aeronautics and space
industries; population (1982) 640,000.
Bordeaux was under the English crown for
three centuries until 1453. In 1870, 1914,
and 1940 the French government was moved here
because of German invasion.
