Ligue des Patriotes
The Ligue began as a non-partisan nationalist league, supported among others by writer Victor Hugo, calling for 'revanche' (revenge for the French defeat during the Franco-Prussian War) against the German Empire.One of the original purposes of the Ligue was to offer pre-military training, allowing members to participate in gymnastics and rifle shooting.Upon the discovery that Victoria, the future German Empress, had stayed in Versailles and Saint-Cloud (a town destroyed during the Franco-Prussian War) during her unofficial visit to France in 1891, the Ligue incited a public uproar.The disorder surrounding the visit eventually resulted in the Crown Princess cutting her trip short and being escorted under French military protection, for her safety, to Calais to board a ship to England.In 1898, the Ligue was revived to become involved in the Dreyfus affair engaging in noisy and often violent anti-Semitic, right-wing protests.
