Lie's Third Theorem states that every finite-dimensional Lie algebra admits an integration to a unique connected, simply connected Lie group. The generalization of Lie's Third Theorem to the integration of Lie algebroids \(A \Rightarrow M\) to Lie groupoids \(G \rightrightarrows M\) was an open question for many years. In special cases, such as tangent bundles to foliations, actions of Lie algebras on manifolds, or smooth families of Lie algebras, the integrability was established through explicit constructions. The author revisits this problem for the special case that the Lie algebroid \(A\) is transitive. He obtains a geometric explanation of the Crainic-Fernandes obstructions for this situation, and an explicit construction of the integration whenever these obstructions disappear. He also suggests an extension of this approach to regular Lie algebroids
