France, had lagged behind neighbouring European powers such as the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</a> and the <a href="/wiki/German_Empire" title="German Empire">German Empire</a> in naval construction. This was due to France's continued focus on building <a href="/wiki/Armoured_cruiser" class="mw-redirect" title="Armoured cruiser">armoured cruisers</a>. These ships were powerful, heavily armoured but costly, and increasingly obsolete (Britain and Germany having stopped building armoured cruisers several years earlier) compared to newer types of warships such as <a href="/wiki/Battlecruiser" title="Battlecruiser">battlecruisers</a>. By 1912, the deficit of newer modern classes of ships such as <a href="/wiki/Dreadnought#Super-dreadnoughts" title="Dreadnought">super-dreadnought</a>-type battleships, and <a href="/wiki/Light_cruisers" class="mw-redirect" title="Light cruisers">light cruisers</a> in the French navy had become increasingly obvious. The French <a href="/wiki/List_of_Naval_Ministers_of_France" class="mw-redirect" title="List of Naval Ministers of France">Minister of Marine</a> issued an ambitious <i>Statut Naval</i> (Naval Law) on 30 March 1912, to reverse the perceived decline in French naval power. The 1912 Statut Naval called for the construction of 28 <a href="/wiki/Battleship" title="Battleship">battleships</a>, 10 <a href="/wiki/Scout_cruiser" title="Scout cruiser">scout cruisers</a>, 52 fleet <a href="/wiki/Torpedo_boat" title="Torpedo boat">torpedo boats</a>, 94 <a href="/wiki/Submarine" title="Submarine">submarines</a> and 10 ships for "distant stations" by 1920.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Initial plans were for 6,000-tonne <i>éclaireurs d'escadre</i> (fleet scouts), but shortly after a smaller design was chosen, similar to the British <a href="/wiki/Arethusa-class_cruiser_(1913)" title="Arethusa-class cruiser (1913)"><i>Arethusa</i> class</a> and German <a href="/wiki/Karlsruhe-class_cruiser" title="Karlsruhe-class cruiser"><i>Karlsruhe</i> class</a> and <a href="/wiki/Magdeburg-class_cruiser" title="Magdeburg-class cruiser"><i>Magdeburg</i> classes</a>. Three of these ships, which were subsequently reclassified as <i>convoyeurs d'escadrilles</i> (<a href="/wiki/Flotilla_leaders" class="mw-redirect" title="Flotilla leaders">flotilla leaders</a>) were to be initially laid down in the <a href="/wiki/Military_port_of_Toulon" class="mw-redirect" title="Military port of Toulon">Toulon Naval Dockyard</a> in November 1914. Two more of the class were planned to be built in private shipyards. Shortly after Germany declared war on France on 3 August 1914, all naval construction in France was suspended and the design plans for the <i>La Motte-Picquet</i> class laid in <a href="/wiki/Abeyance" title="Abeyance">abeyance</a>. The plans were reviewed in July 1915 by the STCN (Service technique des constructions navales), with several suggestions to improve the design. These suggestions were, enlarging the ship, the addition of four <a href="/wiki/Canon_de_65_mm_Mod%C3%A8le_1891" title="Canon de 65 mm Modèle 1891">65 mm/50 Modèle 1902</a> high-angle guns, suppression of the main mast and the reduction of shafts from four to two. These proposals were not adopted and the plans remained dormant. France would not operate any modern light cruisers throughout the rest of the war and her first modern light cruisers would be <a href="/wiki/Prize_(law)" title="Prize (law)">war prizes</a> from the <a href="/wiki/Imperial_German_Navy" title="Imperial German Navy">Imperial German Navy</a> and <a href="/wiki/Austro-Hungarian_Navy" title="Austro-Hungarian Navy">Austro-Hungarian Navy</a>. In September 1919, the light cruiser design was revived and the suggested 1915 changes to the <i>La Motte-Picquet</i> class were reused as the basis for developing France's first postwar ships, the <a href="/wiki/Duguay-Trouin-class_cruiser" title="Duguay-Trouin-class cruiser"><i>Duguay-Trouin</i>-class cruisers</a>. These light cruisers would be the first warships designed and built after the Great War in the world. These revised plans were for six new cruisers were presented by the new French Minister of Marine, <a href="/wiki/Georges_Leygues" title="Georges Leygues">Georges Leygues</a> on 13 January 1920 under the 'Project 171' program.
