# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Édouard Daladier was born in Carpentras in 1884 and fought on the Western Front during the First World War, decorated for his service. He rose through the Radical Party to become Prime Minister in 1933 and 1934, then served as Minister of Defence from 1936 to 1940 before returning to lead the government in 1938. Alongside Chamberlain, Mussolini, and Hitler, he signed the Munich Agreement that handed the Sudetenland to Nazi Germany. After Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, Britain and France declared war, but France's failure to aid Finland during the Winter War brought Daladier's resignation in March 1940. The Vichy government later tried him for treason and imprisoned him in Fort du Portalet, then Buchenwald, then Itter Castle, where he was freed after a peculiar battle in 1945. He returned to the Chamber of Deputies from 1946 to 1958 and died in Paris in 1970.
