Jean Baptiste Noël Bouchotte (Script error: No such module "IPA".; 25 December 1754 – 8 June 1840) was a minister in the government of the French First Republic. He was born in Metz.
At the outbreak of the Revolution he was a captain of cavalry, and his zeal led to his being made colonel and given the command at Cambrai. When Dumouriez delivered up to the Austrians the minister of war, the marquis de Beurnonville, in April 1793, Bouchotte, who had bravely defended Cambrai, was called by the Convention to be minister of war, where he remained until 31 March 1794.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
The predominant role of the Committee of Public Safety during that period did not leave much scope for the new minister, yet he rendered some services in the organization of the republican armies, and chose his officers with insight, among them Kléber, Masséna, Moreau and Bonaparte.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
During the Thermidorian Reaction, in spite of his incontestable honesty, he was accused by the anti-revolutionists. He was tried by the tribunal of the Eure-et-Loir and acquitted. Then he withdrew from politics, and lived in retirement until his death.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
