Who was the ruler of France in the year 1909?

Answer 1

Loubet, Émile (François) (b. Dec. 30, 1838, Marsanne, Drôme, France - d. Dec. 20, 1929, Montélimar, Drôme), president of France (1899-1906). He was elected mayor of Montélimar in 1870 and held that office until he became president. He entered the Chamber of Deputies in 1876 as a moderate republican and worked for free, obligatory, and secular primary education. He entered the Senate in 1885 and was minister of public works in 1887-88. He became prime minister and minister of the interior in February 1892, but his tenure as premier ended in December on the question of the Panama scandal (the collapse of the French Panama Canal company, the Compagnie Universelle du Canal Interocéanique), though he continued to serve as interior minister until January 1893. In 1896-99 he was president of the Senate, and then was elected president of the republic following the death of Félix Faure. Favouring settlement of the case of Alfred Dreyfus, the Jewish army officer convicted for treason on questionable evidence in 1894, he summoned René Waldeck-Rousseau to form a ministry to resolve the affair and appealed to all republicans to rally behind it. Dreyfus, brought back from the Devil's Island penal colony, was again convicted by a court-martial, but Loubet pardoned him, signaling the victory of republican forces against those of the royalists, the Roman Catholic clergy, and the army. In 1905, amid violent controversy, any relationship of the Roman Catholic Church, as well as of the Protestant and Jewish faiths, to the state was dissolved. In foreign affairs, Loubet smoothed relations with Britain in April 1904 by signing the Entente Cordiale, and also exchanged visits with the Russian emperor and other European leaders. He survived an assassination attempt in 1905.
