Élie Lescot
Antoine Louis Léocardie Élie Lescot (December 9, 1883 – October 20, 1974) was the President of Haiti from May 15, 1941 to January 11, 1946. He was a member of the country's light-skinned elite and used the political climate of World War II to sustain his power and ties to the United States, Haiti's powerful northern neighbor. His administration presided over a period of economic downturn and harsh political repression of dissidents. ==Early life== Lescot was born a mulatto in Saint-Louis du Nord to a middle-class family. He traveled to Port-au-Prince to study pharmacy after completing his secondary education in Cap-Haïtien, before settling in Port-de-Paix to work in the export-import business. He entered politics after his first wife died in 1911, and was elected to the Chamber of Deputies two years later. After a four-year stay in France during the United States occupation of Haiti between 1915 and 1934, he returned and held posts in the Louis Borno and Sténio Vincent administrations. Four years later he was named ambassador to the neighboring Dominican Republic, where he forged an alliance with President Rafael Trujillo, until moving to Washington, D.C., to work as ambassador to the United States.
