Camille Chautemps
Camille Chautemps (born February 1, 1885 in Paris , † July 1, 1963 in Washington, DC ) was a French politician. He was Prime Minister of the Third Republic three times .
Life
Chautemps, who belonged to the Parti radical , first completed a degree in law . In 1912 he became mayor of Tours , and in 1919 he became a member of the National Assembly . Between 1924 and 1926 he was appointed minister to the center-left cabinets of Édouard Herriot , Paul Painlevé and Aristide Briand , initially serving as interior minister and later as minister of justice and war .
On February 21, 1930, Chautemps became Prime Minister for the first time, but on March 2, he had to hand over power to his predecessor André Tardieu . He was then again Minister of the Interior between 1932 and 1933, before assuming the highest government office for the second time on November 26, 1933. The financial scandal, known as the Stavisky affair , in which members of his cabinet were involved, already forced him to resign on January 30, 1934.
In 1936 he returned to the executive as Minister of State in the Popular Front government of Léon Blum , before becoming Prime Minister for the third time as its successor on June 22, 1937. He operated the nationalization of the railway, which resulted in the establishment of the SNCF on September 1, 1937 . On March 10, 1938, Chautemps resigned as prime minister for the last time, but took over the office of deputy head of government in the cabinets of his successors Édouard Daladier and Paul Reynaud . After the German invasion of France , he campaigned for a quick armistice. He then also belonged to the new government of Philippe Pétain as Vice Prime Minister, but resigned after a month.
In November 1940, Chautemps went into exile in the USA before living in North Africa for a short time after the German surrender in 1944. After the war , he temporarily returned to France, while his family stayed permanently in the USA, where he died in 1963.
