Index. From Wikipedia: Louis Hubert Gonzalve Lyautey 17 November 1854-21 July 1934 was a French Army general the first Resident-General in Morocco from 1912 to 1925 and from 1921 Marshal of France. Lyautey was born at Nancy Lorraine into an upper-middle class family with aristocratic connections royalist sympathies and a military past. In 1873 he entered the French military academy of Saint-Cyr attended the army training school beginning in 1876 and in December 1877 was made a lieutenant. He made his career serving in the colonies and not in metropolitan France a more prestigious assignment. The first years after graduating Lyautey served as a cavalry officer in Algeria and from 1894 to 1897 in Indochina under Joseph Gallieni. Lyautey adopted and emulated Gallieni's policy of methodical expansion of pacified areas followed by social and economical development to bring about the end of resistance and the cooperation of former insurgents. This method became known as tache d'huile literally "oil stain" as it resembles oil spots spreading to cover the whole surface. Lyautey's writings have had a significant influence on contemporary counterinsurgency theory through its adoption by David Galula. From 1897 to 1902 Lyautey served on Madagascar again under Galliéni. He played a key role in the invasion of the island 1896 1898 in which he commanded the French forces. His military skill and success in this campaign greatly contributed to his promotion to general de brigade in 1902. The murder of French citizens in Casablanca was used as a pretext for Lyautey to occupy Oujda in eastern Morocco at the Algerian border in 1907. Having been promoted to général de division Lyautey was Military Governor of French Morocco from 4 August 1907 to 28 April 1912. After the Convention of Fez established a protectorate over Morocco Lyautey served as Resident-General of French Morocco from 28 April 1912 to 25 August 1925. Lyautey is considered to have been an apt colonial administrator. During the First World War he continued the occupation of the country regardless of the fact that France needed most of her resources in the struggle against the Central Powers. Lyautey served as France's Minister of War for three months in 1917. In 1925 Lyautey lost the military command of the French forces engaged against Abd-el-Krim to Philippe Pétain and resigned to return to France. On 27 July 1914 Gen. Lyautey was telephoned by Paris to evacuate Protectorate except the coast and to send all troops. He was quoted as saying: "A war among Europeans is a civil war. It is the most monumental folly the world has ever committed." Marshal Lyautey served as Honorary President of the three French Scouting associations. citation needed His château in the east of France at Thorey hosts the museum of French Scouting. Lyautey became associated with France's growing fascist movement. He admired Italian leader Benito Mussolini and was associated with the far right Croix de Feu. In 1934 he threatened to lead the Jeunesses Patriotes to overthrow the government. Lyautey died in Thorey and was buried in Morocco but the body was reinterred in Les Invalides in 1961. D.
