Timeline

1810

His father, Benjamin Clemenceau (1810–1897), came from a long line of physicians, but lived off his lands and investments and did not practice medicine.

1817

His mother, Sophie Eucharie Gautreau (1817–1903), was of Huguenot descent.

1841

Georges Benjamin Clemenceau (, also, ; 28 September 1841 – 24 November 1929) was a French statesman who served as Prime Minister of France from 1906 to 1909 and again from 1917 until 1920.

A key figure of the Independent Radicals, he was a strong advocate of separation of church and state, amnesty of the Communards exiled to New Caledonia, as well as opposition to colonisation.

Clemenceau, a physician turned journalist, played a central role in the politics of the Third Republic.

After about 1,400,000 French soldiers were killed between the German invasion and Armistice, he demanded a total victory over the German Empire.

1851

Benjamin was a political activist; he was arrested and briefly held in 1851 and again in 1858.

He instilled in his son a love of learning, devotion to radical politics, and a hatred of Catholicism.

1858

After his studies in the Lycée in Nantes, Clemenceau received his French baccalaureate of letters in 1858.

1861

The lawyer Albert Clemenceau (1861–1955) was his brother.

His mother was a devout Protestant; his father was an atheist and insisted that his children should have no religious education.

Clemenceau was interested in religious issues.

He was a lifelong atheist with a sound knowledge of the Bible.

He became a leader of anti-clerical or "Radical" forces that battled against the Catholic Church in France and the Catholics in politics.

He stopped short of the more extreme attacks.

His position was that if church and state were kept rigidly separated, he would not support oppressive measures designed to further weaken the Catholic Church.

In December 1861, he and some friends co-founded a weekly newsletter, Le Travail.

1862

On 23 February 1862, he was arrested by the imperial police for having placed posters summoning a demonstration.

He spent 77 days in the Mazas Prison.

Around the same time, Clemenceau also visited the old French revolutionary Auguste Blanqui and another Republican activist, Auguste Scheurer-Kestner, in jail, further deepening his hatred of the Napoleon III regime and advancing his fervent republicanism.

1865

He went to Paris to study medicine and eventually graduated with the completion of his thesis "De la génération des éléments anatomiques" in 1865.

In Paris, the young Clemenceau became a political activist and writer.

He was graduated as a doctor of medicine on 13 May 1865, founded several literary magazines, and wrote many articles, most of which attacked the imperial regime of Napoleon III.

After a failed love affair, Clemenceau left France for the United States as the imperial agents began cracking down on dissidents and sending most of them to the bagne de Cayennes (Devil's Island Penal System) in French Guiana.

Clemenceau worked in New York City during the years 1865–1869, following the American Civil War.

He maintained a medical practice, but spent much of his time on political journalism for a Parisian newspaper, Le Temps.

He taught French in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, and also taught and rode horseback at a private girls' school in Stamford, Connecticut, where he would meet his future wife.

During this time, he joined French exile clubs in New York that were opposing the imperial regime.

As part of his journalistic activity, Clemenceau covered the country's recovery following the Civil War, the workings of American democracy, and the racial questions related to the end of slavery.

From his time in America, he retained a strong faith in American democratic ideals as opposed to France's imperial regime, as well as a sense of political compromise that later would become a hallmark of his political career.

1869

On 23 June 1869, he married Mary Eliza Plummer (1849–1922), in New York City.

She had attended the school where he taught horseback riding and was one of his students.

She was the daughter of Harriet A. Taylor and William Kelly Plummer.

1871

Clemenceau stood for reparations, a transfer of colonies, strict rules to prevent a rearming process, as well as the restitution of Alsace–Lorraine, which had been annexed to Germany in 1871.

1919

He achieved these goals through the Treaty of Versailles signed at the Paris Peace Conference (1919–1920).

1920

Nicknamed Père la Victoire ("Father Victory") or Le Tigre ("The Tiger"), he continued his harsh position against Germany in the 1920s, although not quite so much as President Raymond Poincaré or former Supreme Allied Commander Ferdinand Foch, who thought the treaty was too lenient on Germany, prophetically stating: "This is not peace. It is an armistice for twenty years."

Clemenceau obtained mutual defence treaties with the United Kingdom and the United States, to unite against possible future German aggression, but these never took effect due to the US Senate's failure to ratify the Treaty, which thus also nullified British obligation.

Clemenceau was a native of Vendée, born in Mouilleron-en-Pareds.

During the period of the French Revolution, Vendée had been a hotbed of monarchist sympathies.

The department was remote from Paris, rural, and poor.
