Paul Deroulède
Deroulède, Paul (1846-1914). Writer and politician. After military service in the Franco-Prussian War, Deroulède wrote a series of controversial plays of a sharply nationalistic tone, and joined the extreme right-wing movement of General Boulanger. Elected to the Assemblée Nationale, he became a vociferous opponent of the Third Republic and participated in the abortive military coup of February 1899. Exiled to Spain, he continued to write aggressively chauvinistic essays.
