Geography | | English term or phrase: tip of the wedge | Bonjour!
Est-ce que quelqu'un aurait une suggestion pour cette expression?
Il s'agit d'un texte d'histoire sur les faits accomplis par Napoléon...
Voici le contexte:
On April 11th, the Army of Italy was sent to the tip of the wedge which was also the junction point of the Austrian and Sardinian armies. |
