Georges Clemenceau


Georges Clemenceau, a journalist, physician, and politician, served as premier of France from 1906-1909 and again in 1917 until 1920.  He was a strong leader during the last year of World War I, often called "the Tiger" and "Father Victory."  At the Paris Peace Conference, Clemenceau had a powerful say in what was going on.  Clemenceau had no sympathy for Germany when it came to writing the Treaty of Versailles.  He desired revenge, compensation, and complete de-militarization of Germany.
