Millerand, Alexandre

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.

Millerand, Alexandre (1859–1943)

French prime minister in 1920 and president 1920–24. He formed a coalition government, the Bloc National, and supported Poland against the Russian invasion in 1920. He faced opposition from the Radical socialist majority, which, under Edouard Herriot, triumphed in the 1924 elections, and shortly afterwards was forced to resign.

Millerand was born in Paris and became a journalist, later working under Georges Clemenceau on the daily paper La Justice. He was minister of commerce in Pierre Waldeck-Rousseau's cabinet 1899–1902, and expelled from his party in 1904.
