[French Army Cinematographic Section. 'The Annals of War, the Allied Advance'. 'The Canal Of Crozat' 'M. Clemenceau At Noyon'. Paul Dupont
Printers [address]. Poyet Brothers, Paris.]
Georges Clemenceau (1841-1929), was French Prime Minister in the later stages of the First World War, from 1917-20. He
had entered politics as a radical republican, serving as a member of the National Assembly in 1871 and becoming involved in the Paris
Commune. Clemenceau's views gradually changed, and by the time he became Minister for Home Affairs in 1906, and then Prime Minister from
1906-09, he was a confirmed right-wing nationalist.
As a war leader he was aggressive and clamped down on dissent, even accusing his pacifist Interior Minister, Louis Malvy, of treason.
Despite his strong leadership, Clemenceau lost the 1920 Presidential election because many French people believed the Versailles peace
settlement was too lenient on Germany. In fact Clemenceau had been restrained by his allies, particularly the American President Woodrow
Wilson.
Clemenceau retired from politics to write his memoirs, in which he correctly predicted that there would be another war with Germany by
1940.
