Adolphe Thiers

A young lawyer who graduated from the faculty of Aix-en-Provence, Adolphe Thiers settled in Paris 1821 and began a career as a journalist, feeling more at ease with the pen than in a courtroom. Gradually he entered politics. During the revolution of 1830, then 33 years old, deputy of the Bouches du Rhône, he persuaded Louis-Philippe d'Orléans, that his procrastination prevented him from taking action, from taking power. Several times minister, Adolphe Thiers supports advanced liberal ideas. On October 29, 1840, when he had been President of the Council for almost 8 months, Adolphe Thiers resigned, Louis-Philippe only very moderately appreciating his overly aggressive methods. Elected first President of the Third Republic in August 1871. Overthrown in 1873 by the monarchist majority, he was replaced by Mac Mahon. Historian, he had published two masterful works, a History of the French Revolution, and a History of the Consulate and the Empire which had earned him his election to the French Academy, June 20, 1833.
