Louis Hubert Gonzalve Lyautey (November 17, 1854 - July 27, 1934) was a French general, the first Resident-General in Morocco from 1912 to 1925 and from 1921 on a Marshal of France.
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.
Lyautey has been suggested as the author of the famous quote about dialects stating that "a language is a dialect which owns an army, a navy and an air force" ("Une langue, c'est un dialecte qui possède une armée, une marine et une aviation.").

 First World War.com - Who's Who - Hubert Lyautey
A devoted colonialist and protégé of General Gallieni, Lyautey devoted all his energies in Morocco to securing French interests in the newly established protectorate, and was often required to adopt the tried and trusted colonial policy method of 'divide and rule' among the local tribesmen to maintain French dominance.
Lyautey's appointment coincided with the effective dismissal, tactfully managed, of Commander in Chief Joseph Joffre (who was made a Marshal of France the same day in compensation).
Lyautey's resignation brought down Briand's government two days later (although the latter returned to office on numerous occasions following the war), and Nivelle was dismissed as Commander in Chief after the patent failure of his offensive and replaced by Henri-Philippe Petain.

 Hubert Lyautey Summary
The French marshal and colonial administrator Louis Hubert Gonzalve Lyautey (1854-1934) is famed for the pacification and colonization of Morocco.
In 1900 Lyautey was appointed colonel and, after a short period in France, was given command of the AinSefra territory in Algeria.
Although Lyautey was ordered to withdraw from the interior of Morocco at the beginning of World War I, to free as many of his forces as possible, he maintained his ground during the war and even extended the subjugated territory.

Louis Hubert Lyautey was a brilliant soldier and administrator who envisioned a thriving cultural and political synthesis between France and the peoples of North Africa.
Lyautey and the French Conquest of Morocco describes and analyzes the method of colonial conquest and rule linked to the name of Marshal Louis-Hubert Lyautey (1854-1934), France's first resident-general in Morocco and the most famous of France's 20th-century overseas soldier-administrators.
For Lyautey imperialism could be a life-giving force for both Frenchmen and Moroccans alike and during his thirteen years as resident general he boldly promoted France's actions in Morocco as the 'highest form' of imperialism.

At the heart of Rabinow's perspective, and Foucault's, is an ontology of difference, embodied in Lyautey's synthesis of French and Moroccan social spaces (called "urban apartheid" by less charitable critics), versus "universality," associated with statist-technocratic rationality and an architecture and urbanism oblivious to historical and social space-time.
For Rabinow, Lyautey's originality was in his break with the dead-end moral reform perspectives represented by currents such as DeMan's Christian socialism or LePlay's sociological studies of workers.
Lyautey grew out of Social Catholicism and into a meritocratic conservatism that was determined to face squarely modern conditions.

Technocosmopolitanism had its finest moment in the bold urban experiments of Hubert Lyautey, the head of the French protectorate in Morocco from 1912 to 1925; “middling modernism” is the style and conception which won out and then dominated French urbanism from the epoch of the Popular Front until the crisis of the 1970s.
For Rabinow, Lyautey’s originality was in his break with the dead-end moral reform perspectives represented by currents such as DcMun’s Christian socialism or LePlay’s sociological studies of workers.
The denouement came with the Rif insurrection of 1925, another “laboratory of modernity,” when Lyautey’s pacification strategy was pushed aside for that of Marshal Petain, a “middling modernist” who relied on massive manpower and firepower to overwhelm AM el-Krim.

Lyautey’s personal convictions provide the key for the understanding of his colonial philosophy in general and his approach to collaboration with indigenous Moroccan groups in particular.
A staunch royalist and devout Catholic, Lyautey was somewhat of a misfit in the fin-desiècle militantly secularist atmosphere of the Third Re public.
Lyautey’s reputation as an effective and progressive colonial administrator relied in part upon his professed adherence to non-violent methods in his dealing with armed resistance.

Lyautey and the Residents after him deemed that whatever was not useful to the politics of the Protectorate government were unproductive, or possibly dangerous.
Lyautey and the Residents after him held that because colonial authority based on the threat of physical might alone had no power, it required new techniques of civic vigor and a new reform of methods of public education in order to transform the Moroccans into efficient parts of the colonial productive process.

Later, out of difficult experience in north Africa and Indochina, outstanding commanders such as Louis Hubert Lyautey focused on a third phase, in which the prime function of their forces was not to fight battles, although this was sometimes necessary, but to be, in his phrase, "an organisation on the march".
In Morocco, Lyautey believed that the opening of department stores in Casablanca and the holding of a great agricultural fair there in 1915 were achievements on a par with any of his military successes.
The point that was apparent to Lyautey and to successful imperial commanders of other nations, if in a deeply distorted way, was that the two are indivisible.
