Background In the colony of French Chad, cotton had become a predominant export product from the late 1920s onwards. The production rose from 17 tonnes in 1929 to 80.500 tonnes in 1957. This created an increasingly large divide between impoverished rural labourers on the one hand and the powerful chiefs and middlemen who pocketed most of the profits on the other. According to René Lemarchand, "the parastatal agency responsible for the production quotas, the , came to be regarded by the peasant masses as prime symbol of corporate and chiefly ruthlessness".

French Legislative Election, 1951 (Chad–Ubangi-Shari)
Legislative elections were held in France on 17 June 1951 to elect the second National Assembly of the Fourth Republic. After the Second World War, the three parties which took a major part in the French Resistance to the German occupation dominated the political scene and government: the French Communist Party (PCF), the French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO, socialist party) and the Christian democratic Popular Republican Movement (MRP). The forces associated with the Third Republic and the 1940 disaster (the Radical Party and the classical Right) were considered as archaic and were the losers of the post-war elections. Nevertheless, after the proclamation of the Fourth Republic, the 1947 strikes and the beginning of the Cold War, the Three-parties alliance split. In spring 1947, the Communist ministers were dismissed. At the same time, Charles de Gaulle, symbol of the Resistance, founded his Rally of the French People (RPF) which campaigned for constitutional ...
