Émile Eddé

1884 - 1949

Prime minister (1929 - 1930) and president (1936 - 1941) of Lebanon.

Emile Eddé, a Lebanese lawyer and politician, was a strong supporter of French policies in Lebanon and the Middle East. He was a devoted Francophile who came from a family that was well connected to French interests. Eddé was prime minister in 1929 and 1930 and president from 1936 to 1941 under the French mandate over Lebanon (1920 - 1943). He also initiated and headed during the mandate the Parliamentary National Bloc, which became a party in 1946 after independence. Eddé was highly controversial due to his conservative views, anti-Arab sentiments, and zealous adherence to French colonialism. Raymond Eddé, Emile's son, headed the party in 1949 and directed it toward more liberalism and less dependency on France.
