Industry and Empire: The Beginnings of French Industrial Politics in the Colonies under the Vichy Regime

Chapter 3 in Disparities in Economic Development since the Industrial Revolution, 1981, pp 29-33 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract After the First World War, the equipping of the colonies was the order of the day. It was a question of remedying the exploitation, typical of the first colonial phase, of an almost exclusively commercial nature by planning infrastructural investments: the Sarraut plan (Sarraut was Minister for the Colonies in 1921) was partially assimilated into the Maginot programme (Maginot had succeeded Sarraut in the same post in 1929); and it finally approached realisation through the great laws of loans to the colonies (1931).
