Tuesday, July 20, 1909. Clemenceau resigns.


Georges Clemenceau resigned as Prime Minister of France following a heated argument in the Chamber of Deputies with former Foreign Minister Theophile Delcasse. 

A vote of no confidence followed, and the sitting government failed.

Clemenceau, of course, would rise again and return to office in 1917.
