 | | In October 1915, following on French defeats in the First World War, Briand again became Prime Minister, and, for the first time, Foreign Minister, succeeding René Viviani and Théophile Delcassé respectively. |
 | | His tenure was not particularly successful, and he resigned in March 1917 as a result of disagreements over the prospective, to be succeeded by Alexandre Ribot. |
 | | Briand returned to power in 1921, but his efforts to come to an agreement over reparations with the Germans failed in the wake of German intransigence, and he was succeeded by the more bellicose Raymond Poincaré. |
