Tardieu, Andre Pierre Gabriel Amedee (1876–1945)

French premier and journalist.

A diplomat, he took up journalism and became foreign editor of the Temps and editor of the Revue des deux mondes. In 1914 he became a deputy. At the peace conference of 1919–20 he was a colleague of Georges Clémenceau (with whom he founded the Echo national), and strenuously opposed any revision of the Versailles Treaty. Tardieu was premier three times, and from 1936 was a strong critic of the Third Republic.
