Flandin, Pierre-Étienne

    0.04 sec.

Flandin, Pierre-Étienne

(born April 12, 1889, Paris, France—died June 13, 1958, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat) French politician. He served in the Chamber of Deputies (1914–40) and held various ministerial posts in the Third Republic, serving briefly as premier (1934–35). As foreign minister when the Germans marched into the Rhineland in 1936, he failed to convince the French and British governments to act and accepted German dominance, though when he returned briefly as foreign minister in the Vichy regime, he resisted German demands. Later charged with treason, he was acquitted in 1946.
