History

The MDD was established in northern Dahomey by Hubert Maga in 1951 as the Ethnic Group of the North (Groupement Ethnique du Nord, GEN). Maga had previously been a member of the ruling Dahomeyan Progressive Union, but was encouraged to split from the party by the local French administrator Roger Péperty.[1] Maga gained support from his Bariba people, and won one of the two Dahomey seats in the French National Assembly in the June 1951 elections.[2]

The party won 9 of the 32 second college seats in the 1952 Territorial Assembly elections, emerging as the second-largest faction behind the Republican Party of Dahomey. In 1953 it became the Dahomeyan Democratic Movement.[3] Maga was re-elected to the French National Assembly in 1956.

The MDD was reduced to six seats in the 1957 Territorial Assembly elections, and in August 1957 it merged with the Independents of the North party led by Paul Darboux to form the Dahomeyan Democratic Rally.[4]

gollark: They aren't that hard. You just use `server_name` in the `server` block.
gollark: Not specifically wordpress, no.
gollark: I would probably use nginx, because I'm used to it and it has nicer configuration:```nginxhttp { # whatever important configuration you have for all HTTP servers, `nginx.conf` probably ships with some # fallback in case someone visits with an unrecognized Host header server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server; return 301 http://somedomain$request_uri; } server { listen 80; # you may (probably do) want HTTPS instead, in which case this bit is somewhat different - you need to deal with certs and stuff, and use port 443 - also you should probably add HTTP/2 listen [::]:80; # IPv6 server_name domain1.com; location / { proxy_pass http://backend1:8080/; } } server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; server_name domain2.com; location / { proxy_pass http://backend2:8080/; } }}```
gollark: The reverse-proxy solution is in my opinion the best one, although it would require some config.
gollark: I think LetsEncrypt may not be very happy with that, though.
