Prime Minister of France at various times between 1912 and 1929, President of France 1913-20, one of the principal figures at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 in which the Treaty of Versailles was negotiated. He had advocated the seizure of the Rhineland by France, and argued strongly for payment of reparations by Germany.

His anti-German sentiments and Rhineland ambitions earned him Schenker's scorn in the post-Versailles period in the lead article "The Mission of German Genius," and the Miscellanea of Der Tonwille, Heft I (1921).
