  French Third Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The French Third Republic, (in French, Troisième Republique, sometimes written as IIIème Republique) (1870/75-10 July 1940) was the governing body of France between the Second French Empire and the Fourth Republic.
Instead a "temporary" republic was established, pending the death of the elderly childless Chambord and the succession of his more liberal heir, the Comte de Paris.
When France was finally liberated, few called for the restoration of the Third Republic, and a Constituent Assembly was established in 1946 to draft a constitution for a successor, established as the Fourth Republic that December.

The French Third Republic, sometimes written as the IIIrd Republic (1870-1940), was the governing body of France between the Second Empire and the Fourth Republic.
By the late 1870s, with public opinion swinging heavily in favour of a republic, the President of the Republic, Patrice MacMahon, duc de Magenta, himself a monarchist, made one last desparate attempt to salvage the monarchical cause by dismissing the republic-orientated prime minister and appointing a monarchist duke to office.
The Republic was also rocked by a series of crises, none more famous that the Dreyfus Affair, in which it was alleged that a Jewish officer in the French Army was a German spy.

 "The Third Republic in France survived only because every alternative was discredited". Di
The Third Republic was set up, rather than any other kind of government, because that was what the people decided on, repeatedly in elections.
The Third Republic was established in 1870, and it was still the same French system of government in 1914, 44 years later, even though it had lots of opposition.
Thus the Third Republic survived not just because it responded well to domestic challenges, but also because it managed well abroad (although the 1880s were not very successful).

Volume One examines the place of the Senate in the Third Republic, from its uncertain beginnings to its presence at the forefront of political life in the 1930s, a prominence that would cost the Senate dear after the Liberation.
It also explores the pattern of political careers under the Third Republic, in particular the transition from the hurly-burly of being a deputy to the more sedate existence of a senator.
It is this quality in particular that makes it outstanding: there is a tremendous amount of information here that has been turned into a coherent vision of the Third Republic, and scholars and students will simply have to engage with that vision in order to move on in their own research.
