Also regarding Foch and his appointment as Commander-in-Chief of the Allied armies in 1918, it is said that he was preferred over the "more cautious" Pétain (some said even defeatist) because of his perseverance and spirit at the Doullens conference. Especially because of one of his statement in front of all the other generals and deleguates : "You aren't fighting? I would fight without a break. I would fight in front of Amiens. I would fight in Amiens. I would fight behind Amiens. I would fight all the time. I would never surrender" When the time will come, it would be interesting to have a special about him too.

[@books-qz7wo]

In 1919 a low-life anarchist (sorry for being redundant) tried to kill Clemenceau. Afterwards, Georges "The Tiger" commented: "We have just won the most terrible war in history, yet here is a Frenchman who misses his target 6 out of 7 times at point-blank range. Of course this fellow must be punished for the careless use of a dangerous weapon and for poor marksmanship. I suggest that he be locked up for eight years, with intensive training in a shooting gallery." What a guy!

Churchill was an admirer of Clemenceau actually. He was present in 1918 when the germans launched their offensive toward Paris and Clemanenceau made this speech: "They can take Paris, it won't end the war. We will fight behind the Seine, we will fight behind the Loire, we will fight behind the Garonne, we will fight in the Pyreneans, and if they take it, we will fight at sea, but we will never surrender" Reminds you of another speech?^^

[@dejabu24]

[@pimsou1]

Well, they both were sassy old politicians that led the Allies to victory during the World Wars. Also, they both took power when the situation was looking quite grim for their country, but still stubbornly carried on. By the way, it's not impossible that Churchill's "We shall fight on the beaches" speech was inspired by one of Clemenceau's in front of the French parliament when the German army got extremely close to Paris in 1918.

[@mattfitzgerald7836]

The parallels struck me too. From power to the political wilderness, called back when his nation decided that they needed him after all, acted as his own War Minister (Defence Secretary), loses the post war election, writes his own history. Clemenceau could be Monsieur Churchill, MD. Or, rather, Churchill could be the English Clemenceau, since Clemenceau's experience predates the equivalent portion of Churchill's life.

[@christopherconard2831]

One of Churchill's opponents referred to him as something like a stone headed rabid dog. But the stone headed rabid dog England needed. France needed a Clemenceau at the time. A nationalist who truly believed that the survival of France was on the line.

[@xJavelin1]

Great video, as usual. But I'm confused as to what the role of "Prime Minister" in the French Republic of the time actually entailed. It doesn't seem to be the equivalent of the British Prime Minister as there is also a French elected President. What it boils down to is this - where did the real power lie?

[@Talyrion]

Actually, at the time of the third republic, the French Prime Minister's office is pretty comparable to the English one, while the President would be akin to the King/Queen of England: the official head of state, but little real power. What makes it confusing is that nowaday, it's very much the reverse: under the fifth republic, the President holds the real power, while the Prime Minister is a more subordinate position (most of the time - if the President and the Prime Minister happens to be from different political parties, then there's some balance between them)

[@tinkmarshino]

I have just stumbled onto your channel and am very impressed. I was wonder what is your motivation for doing this great undertaking? I got to ep 44 this evening and will pick it up with 45 tomorrow evening.. What got my attention was the episode you did on the somme (the third one) My grand father started his service in ww1 in that battle.. after I left the marines in 1972 we talk for many days of war.. he told me about that battle and many others he fought in until he was wounded. He passed on three years later in 1975.. he was a great man.. they don't seem to make them like him any more.. thanks for what your doing.. it reminds me of him..

[@Edax_Royeaux]

Meanwhile, on wikipedia, the article for the President of France for WWII, Albert Lebrun, only has a small paragraph describing what he did, starting from 1932 and ending in 1944. He comments that he was still president because there was no one left to accept his resignation.

[@varana]

Clemenceau was Prime Minister, not President. The President of the Third Republic had relatively little political influence and was largely a ceremonial office. And Lebrun (in WW2) had essentially been deposed by Petain in 1940; him not resigning was more a technicality.

[@Edax_Royeaux]

Being American, I am unfamiliar with the power structure of the French Republic. If the Presidency was worthless why did Clemenceau make a Presidential bid? And why does the WWI President, Raymond Poincaré, have a Wikipedia article 20 times longer then Albert Lebrun?

[@maciejpociecha6357]

In most democracies, the Prime Minister is the important executive post, and the President a largely ceremonial head of state (think British queen.) However, the prestige of the person and position, plus their power to dissolve governments, can give rise to influential individuals.

[@pimsou1]

The Presidency did not hold much power, but was a very prestigious office, so it was not rare for very influencial politicans, such as Clemenceau and Poincaré to end their career as president. They would not hold much official power, but their influence and prestige would still allow them to have an impact on French politics. As for why Poincaré is much more remembered than Lebrun, I believe it's because Lebrun became president without having held very high positions before, unlike Poincaré who has had a long career as MP, minister and prime minister. Also, Poincaré was president during the entirety of WWI while Lebrun was deposed as soon as 1940 when the French Republic fell. An other reason might be the intense rivalry between Poincaré and Clemenceau : being the rival of someone as famous as "the Tiger", and being the target of some of his most sassy comments, is certainly a way to gain fame. "There are only two perfectly useless things in this world. One is an appendix and the other is Poincaré", Clemenceau 1919

[@varana]

Those Wikipedia articles might also give a hint: "The strong-willed Poincaré was the first president of the Third Republic since MacMahon in the 1870s to attempt to make that office into a site of power rather than an empty ceremonial role," as opposed to "Re-elected in 1939, largely because of his record of accommodating all political sides, he (Lebrun) exercised little power as president." And what pimsou1 wrote - Poincaré was the more important politician in general, by far.
