Alfred Albert Martineau
Alfred Albert Martineau (18 December 1859 in Artins – 25 January 1945 in Varennes) was a notable historian and colonial administrator in the French Colonial Empire.
He wrote extensively on colonial affairs and the history of French colonial expansion, in particular a six-volume Histoire des colonies françaises et de l'expansion française dans le monde (1930-1934) co-authored with former French Foreign Minister Gabriel Hanotaux.[1] Upon retirement from colonial service in 1921 he taught colonial history at the Collège de France until 1935.[2]
He was a founding member of the Société de l'histoire de l'Inde française, the Société française d'histoire d'Outre-Mer (1912) and the Académie des sciences coloniales (1922).[3]
