The White Rose Order (Gaullican: Ordre de la Rose Blanche), officially named the Order for the Preservation of White Society (Gaullican: Ordonnance pour la Préservation de la Société Blanche), was a white supremacist fraternal organization and paramilitary group that formed on the Théme de Îles d'Émeraude in 1916 and was active until 1935, when it was outlawed.

The organization formed in reaction to the Emeraudian Spring, which had grown to support greater racial equality for the island's Bahian population as well as other ethnic minorities, which was pushed for by many Bahian figures such as Jean-Baptiste Canmore and Lou Dubois.

History

Initial formation

In the years prior to the Great Collapse, the White population of Île d'Émeraude, the majority of which were Gaullican, formed what many historians have called a dominant minority. This had been the case throughout the colonial era, with institutions such as Séparer helping to ensure the privelege and power of the loyal White population at the expense of other ethnicities, especially the Bahians that formed the vast majority of population. Relations between the White Gaullicans and the other ethnicities therefore were extremely tense during this time period; as Lou Dubois later recalled about life in the period, "it was a wonder a full-blown race war never broke out one way or another."

After the Great Collapse, the Emeraudian Spring began to develop. The movement originally sought to guarantee the protection of worker's rights, though eventually grew to support racial equality for non-whites, especially Bahians. This was met with mixed reaction from the White population; while some were supportive of or neutral towards the Emeraudian Spring, others reacted very harshly. Among these people were Jacques Levassuer, who was an intellectual and a businessman who held deep-seated white supremacist views.
