Louis Dubreuilh (18 March 1862 – 24 July 1924) was a French socialist politician and first Secretary-General of the French Socialist Party (SFIO) from its establishment in 1905 to 1918.
Political career
Dubreuilh began his political career as a journalist initially in the Bordeaux press[1]. As he was a socialist he had campaigned alongside Édouard Vaillant and was one of the organizers of the 1899 First General Congress of French Socialist Organizations[2]. He was made the Secretary-General of the SFIO when it was founded in 1905 and would remain in the position until 1918[3]. He later joined the Sacred Union movement, a response to WW1 agreeing not to go on any strikes or oppose the government for the duration of the war[4]. Before the war ended he was succeeded as Secretary-General by Ludovic-Oscar Frossard. He died in 1924.
