Déroulède, Paul

(born Sept. 2, 1846, Paris, France—died Jan. 30, 1914, Nice) French politician and poet. An ardent nationalist and advocate of revenge against Germany, he helped found the revanchist Ligue des Patriotes (League of Patriots), supported Georges Boulanger, and campaigned against Alfred Dreyfus. After trying to overthrow the government in 1899, he was exiled in 1900 but allowed to return in 1905. His patriotic poems include the collection Chants du soldat (1872).
