Louis-Antoine, Comte de Bougainville (/ˈbuːɡənvɪl/, US also /ˌbuːɡæ̃ˈviːl/, French:[lwiɑ̃twandəbuɡɛ̃vil]; 12 November 1729 – 31 August 1811)[1][2] was a French admiral and explorer. A contemporary of the British explorer James Cook, he took part in the Seven Years' War in North America and the American Revolutionary War against Britain. Bougainville later gained fame for his expeditions, including a circumnavigation of the globe in a scientific expedition in 1763, the first recorded settlement on the Falkland Islands, and voyages into the Pacific Ocean. Bougainville Island of Papua New Guinea as well as the Bougainvillea flower are named after him.
