About Aristide Briand

Aristide Pierre Henri Briand was a French statesman who served eleven terms as Prime Minister of France during the French Third Republic. He is mainly remembered for his focus on international issues and reconciliation politics during the interwar period (1918–1939). In social policy, Briand's first ministry was notable for the passage of a bill in April 1910 for workers' and farmers' pensions. At the end of August 1914, following the outbreak of the First World War, Briand again became minister of justice when René Viviani reconstructed his ministry. He became a freemason in the lodge Le Trait d'Union in July 1887 while the lodge did not record his name in spite of his repeated requests. In October 1915 following an unsuccessful French offensive and the entry of Bulgaria, Briand again became prime minister (29 October 1915), succeeding René Viviani.
