	Louis Leon Cesar Faidherbe - LoveToKnow 1911
		LOUIS LEON CESAR FAIDHERBE (1818-1889), French general and colonial administrator, was born on the 3rd of June 1818, at Lille, received his military education at the Ecole Polytechnique and at Metz, and entered the engineers in 1840.
		To accomplish even the first part of his design he had very inadequate resources, especially in view of the aggressive action of Omar Al-Hadji, the Moslem ruler of the countries of the middle Niger.
		By boldly advancing the French outposts on the upper Senegal Faidherbe stemmed the Moslem advance, and by.an advantageous treaty with Omar in 1860 brought the French possessions into touch with the Niger.

		Under orders from the new government of Louis Napoleon to end the coutume, to secure the gum arabic trade, and to protect the sedentary populations of the southern bank from Maure raids, Faidherbe conquered the Oualo Kingdom.
		The Maures attacked Saint Louis in 1855 and almost succeeded in reclaiming the settlement, but they were repulsed and defeated a year later, north of the Senegal River.
		In 1859 and 1860, Faidherbe sponsored five expeditions, including one that mapped the Adrar, to all areas of western and southern Mauritania.

		Faidherbe's successors were content to maintain his gains and did not embark on further military ventures.
		His task was made difficult by opposition from the administration in Senegal, which saw no value in the wastelands north of the Senegal River, and by the Saint Louis commercial companies, to whom pacification meant the end of the lucrative arms trade.
		As Faidherbe had suggested fifty years earlier, the key to the pacification of Mauritania lay in the Adrar.

		Faidherbe thought that the Massassi might defeat Umar (SEN 4 44e, minutes of the Conseil d'Administration of 20 Aug. 1855), but he was probably not able to make any contribution to their revolt.

		Louis Faidherbe who became the Governor of the colony in 1854 greatly participated in this development and growth in importance of Saint Louis, through his large-scale projects such as the building of the bridges Gaol, Faidherbe and Servatius, and the construction of the Dakar-Saint Louis railroad.
		Political Capital of Senegal in 1840, Saint-Louis became a proper commune of France with all its privileges in 1872 and was propelled to the rank of Capital of French Western Africa by 1895.
		This has caused the dispossession of Saint Louis of all its past economic attributes and is said to have “[…] reached its paroxysm in 1960 when the main town of the independent Senegal was transferred to Dakar”.

	The French in West Africa
		Since 1684, when Louis XIV ordered the bombardment of Algiers in an effort to retrieve Christian slaves, to the reprisals launched after the Napoleonic Wars against cities along the "Barbary Coast" that supported pirates, the French viewed North Africa as a source of opposition.
		He initiated a period of expansion by capturing the port of St. Louis at the mouth of the Senegal River and allowing privately-owned trading companies (mostly from Bordeaux) to handle the administration of the town.
		Beyond that lay the empire of Ahmadu Tall with its capital at Ségou on the Niger River, and the empire of Samory Touré to the south east, with a capital at Sanankoro on the south side of the Niger River.

		As for Faidherbe, he chafed at the age-old restrictions imposed by the authorities of Futa on access to the upper valley and its resources of gum and gold.
		Faced with such irresistible subjects as Umar and Faidherbe, historians have treated Futa Toro as a passive receptacle of external initiatives and marked it off after 1860 as part of the Colony of Senegal.
