this is a gulf and not a bay —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.43.240.125 (talk) 15:10, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
In shipping practice they also call the Bay of Biscay a 'French Bay'. Once I was looking for some info about French Bay somewhere in France, I couldnt find anything but some French Bays in Canada and Bahamas. I believe it would be of much help to add this name to the article. Also in view of a very short block of history think this is very strange that the fabulous Russian army invasion is almost a half of it. There should be better mentioning of the 14-18th centuries when Spain was the leading maritime force and shipbuilder. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.80.111.240 (talk) 15:50, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Then may be it is time for you to register and share the vast knowledge about history with us... you don't even need to register, you know ;-). Wikipedia is a collaborative effort, there was a user that knew this little bit of history (the Red Army) and added it to the article. You can do the same, but you should never never remove valuable information from another user unless it is incorrect or nonsense. So please, improve the section with the (I agree) more important history of the Bay of Biscay during the 14th-18th centuries... some about the Spanish Armada maybe? go on! be bold!

To be honest - that is real nonsense. I will not start arguing. Its a long story. You know politics often invent history - on any side. "Red Army" did not exist after the WW2 - it was not called so. It was just "Soviet Army". All in all I simply saw anoth fact of propaganda where I never expected to see it. Once again - no time to argue. I am in a shipping business - was just looking around to read about "French bay". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.66.154.250 (talk) 20:00, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, what's all this about "potential soviet dominance"? The influence of this body of water on the cold war, Soviet politics and Soviet war strategy is up for debate at best, and at worst just plain silly. At least needs a good source.
