Jean Cruppi (22 May 1855 – 16 October 1933) was a French politician of the Third Republic where he held several ministerial posts. He started as a lawyer before becoming a magistrate. He was also a writer and journalist before his career in government. His first major posting was Minister of Commerce and Industry in 1908.[1] He was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Ernest Monis government, which lasted less than four months from 2 March – 27 June 1911. Cruppi was responsible for sending soldiers into Fez, eventually leading to France's control over Morocco. In the aftermath, Cruppi held talks with the British in London at the start of the Agadir Crisis, which was caused by France's invasion of Morocco. [2]
He was married to author and activist Louise Cruppi. The couple married in 1882 and had four children.[3]
