Antisemitic League of France

Its 1889 foundation was inspired by the success of Drumont's antisemitic pamphlet La France juive (1886), and also by the Boulangist crisis.

It was supported by newspapers such as Drumont's La Libre Parole; Jules Guérin's French weekly L'Antijuif (fr) (Paris, 1896-1902); the daily La Cocarde (fr) (1888-1907) founded by Georges de Labruyère (fr) and edited September 1894 - March 1895 by Maurice Barrès; Henri Rochefort's L'Intransigeant; and the Catholic newspaper La Croix.

It denounced the Panama scandals, took side against Alfred Dreyfus and spread conspiracy theories concerning the Masonry's alleged activities in the Third Republic.

The League progressively disappeared after the "Fort Chabrol" affair and the arrest of Guérin.

After an initial surge during the Dreyfus Affair, far right leagues appeared again during the interwar period.
