Jean Laborde

See also: Laborde (homonymy)

Adventurous, industrialist, first French Consul to Madagascar, Jean Laborde (October 16th 1805 with Auch - December 27th 1878 in Madagascar) had a great influence on the company and the policy of monarchy Merina in Madagascar at the 19th century.

Contemporary of three queens and a Malagasy but naive sovereign in policy, it was used by the government of Napoleon III in order to sit the French influence in Madagascar vis-a-vis the English ambitions. The brutality of the fight that the two colonial countries for the possession of this island carried out pushed France, after its death, to use its heritage in order to put the government of the Prime Minister Rainilaiarivony in difficulty, thus disinheriting the Malagasy descendants of Laborde.

At the time of the Colonization, in 1895, the goods of the former consul were distributed between the Jésuite S, which were seen rewarded for their support for the colonization and the administration of the large island.
