  Hubert Lyautey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

 Louis Hubert Gonzalve Lyautey Biography / Biography of Louis Hubert Gonzalve Lyautey Biography
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.

 The Conquest of Morocco & The Sahara
In short, Lyautey could and did annoy his superiors by his demands for autonomy and his use of parallel channels of communication with politicians and other influential persons in Paris--behavior and procedures that, while giving proof of his disregard for the normal military chain of command, had very little to do with his sexual preferences.
Lyautey had traveled by boat, from Galati, through the delta of the Danube River, to the principal mouth of the river at Sulina, on the Black Sea.
When serving in Morocco after 1912, Lyautey, the Resident General, and his entourage of officers, felt themselves committed to enlarging and strengthening the authority of the _mahkzen_, the area and the populations of Morocco recognizing the Sultan's secular authority.

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.
Lyautey grew out of Social Catholicism and into a meritocratic conservatism that was determined to face squarely modern conditions.
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.

 French Protectorate of Morocco (1912-1946)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The most famous Redident-General was Lyautey (1854-1934), who commanded in 1907 the first French intervention in Morocco, created the protectorate in 1912 and was appointed Resident-General from 1912 to 1925.
Based on his extensive knowledge of the country and his inhabitants, Lyautey combined military operations of pacification, restoration of traditional Morocco and rejection of direct French administration, and economical development and modernization.
Lyautey believed that colonial military operations were totaly unefficient if not associated with deep political reforms, which was extremely wise and progressive for the time.

 First World War.com - Who's Who - Joseph Alfred Micheler
Presumably fearful of the consequences of openly confronting Nivelle prior to the launching of what turned out to be a disastrous offensive (causing widespread mutiny in the French army), Micheler was more open and direct in his condemnation once it had run its calamitous course.
Others were more forthright earlier on; the eminent War Minister, General Lyautey, resigned in late March - weeks before the offensive was launched - rather than preside over what he was certain was a disaster in preparation.
Lyautey's resignation in its turn brought down Aristide Briand's government two days later.

 Operation Torch: Sub-Task Force Goalpost Capture Port Lyautey
Although Truscott's mission was to attack Port Lyautey, the main purpose of Goalpost was to seize the airfield outside the town, preferably by the end of the first day ashore, in order for planes waiting on the carrier Chenango to use it to support the attack on Casablanca.
At the Port Lyautey bridge, Companies K and M were forced back by artillery fire, but managed to set up a machine-gun position that denied use of the bridge to the enemy.
French soldiers were surrendering everywhere, and in Port Lyautey, Colonel Petit, who had been desperately trying to rally his men and had been captured in the process, suggested that he be remanded to the custody of his own prisoner, Major Hamilton, and subsequently ordered all his forces in the area to cease firing.

Fierce French resistance was obstacle enough but the landing was complicated by inexperienced Navy coxswains who, in the high surf and rocky beaches, landed many of their combat loads on the wrong beaches.

 Eugenie al-Sayyida Character Story
Following political maneuvering between the German and French, in 1912 the French protectorate reign in Morocco began with the signing of the Treaty of Fez.   In the Middle Atlas, an area of heavy resistance to the French, the old Imperial city of Meknes was chosen as military headquarters.
The first Resident-General, Lyautey, brought his wife and children from Paris and worked to subdue resistance to French rule and to ensure protection for the French colonists who arrived to farm the land nearby.  Tensions quickly arose as the colonists usurped land from Arab and Berber alike.
Just as in the eighth century, the Caliph al-Mahdi adored his daughter Banuqa and did not wish to be separated from her, so did Eugenie’s father dress her as a boy in order to take him with her traveling.  Unable to let go of the memories of his wife, al-Sameh clung to their daughter instead.

The reason for our transfer to Port Lyautey was to establish a base of operations so that we could make forays into the Mediterranean and the Baltic Seas in order to plot the location of Russian radar installations.
The fact that the nose wheel was recovered with a piece of the strut indicated that Fette had let down the landing gear as an indication that he was willing to follow the Russian fighter planes and land, but crashed in the sea breaking off the nose wheel.
