Abstract
This thesis sets out to discuss the significance of the French association policy in French rest Africa during the most important years of the second phase, 1921-1939. It will explain how the foundation that was laid during this period prepared Frenchmen and West Africans for a more active association that began in 1946 after the West African leaders had made their demands and proposals at the Brazzaville Conference in 1944. This thesis will explain that the French association policy during 1921-1939 was one of developing West Africa so that France would have a valuable source of raw materials. It will also show that not as many opportunities were given for political education as were given for economic education. Influenced by the ideals of the mandate spirit, the French believed that they were guiding the natives along the road to civilization.
