About
Georges Benjamin Clemenceau was born in Mouilleron-en-Pareds, Vendée, France. He was a French politician, journalist, and physician. A leader of the Radical Party, he played a central role in politics during the Third Republic. He served as the Prime Minister of France from 1906 to 1909, and again from 1917 to 1920. He was one of the principal architects of the Treaty of Versailles at the France Peace Conference of 1919. In December 1861, he co-founded a weekly newsletter, Le Travail, along with some friends. He finally graduated as a doctor on 13 May 1865, founded several literary magazines, and wrote many articles, most of which attacked the imperial regime of Napoleon III. He maintained a medical office, but spent much of his time on political journalism for a Parisian newspaper.
