Résumé anglais Foreign Immigration in the Rural World between the Two Wars For a few years historians have begun to highlight the essential role played by immigration in the economic development of France, particularly in industry, since the end of the nineteenth century. The purpose of this article is to show that immigration has also been an important factor in the transformation of French agriculture after the first World War. It examines the economic trends and the structural causes which explain why it has so often been necessary to resort to foreign labour and on such a large scale. The various elements it consists of as regards the nationalities represented as well as professional statutes and recruiting regions are studied in detail. A brief survey of the life conditions of this immigrant population is given before concluding on the specific role it has played in transforming French agriculture.
