Something wrong?He dragged France through the last years of the First World War and then sat across from Germany at Versailles, demanding every ounce of restitution the victors could extract. The Tiger didn't want terms; he wanted certainty that 1,400,000 dead French soldiers would never be repeated.

Mistakes have been made; do not think of them except to rectify them. Alas, there have also been crimes, crimes against France which call for a prompt punishment.

Georges Benjamin Clemenceau was a physician who became a journalist before entering the politics of the Third Republic, where he pushed for separation of church and state and amnesty for exiled Communards. He served as prime minister from 1906 to 1909, then again from 1917 through the war's end in 1920. After more than a million French soldiers died between the German invasion and Armistice, he insisted on total victory: reparations, transferred colonies, disarmament rules, and the return of Alsace-Lorraine, annexed by Germany in 1871. He secured those terms in the Treaty of Versailles at the Paris Peace Conference, earning the nickname Père la Victoire. Through the 1920s he maintained his hard line on Germany, though others thought he hadn't gone far enough. He negotiated mutual defence pacts with Britain and the United States, but the U.S. Senate never ratified, and the treaties collapsed.
