Viviani, René

▪ French politician
born Nov. 8, 1863, Sidi Bel Abbès, Alg.
died Sept. 7, 1925, Le Plessis-Robinson, France

      Socialist (socialism) politician and premier of France during the first year of World War I.

      A member of an Italian family that had settled in Algeria, Viviani began his career as a lawyer, first in Algiers, then in Paris; he pleaded in many political actions in behalf of workers and Socialists and acquired a reputation as a brilliant and effective speaker. A Socialist deputy for Paris from 1893 to 1902, he collaborated with Jean Jaurès (Jaurès, Jean), the great Socialist politician, in launching L'Humanité (1904), an influential Socialist newspaper, and in helping to found a unified Socialist party, the Section Française de l'Internationale Ouvrière (1905). After reelection to the Chamber of Deputies, he joined the government of Premier Georges Clemenceau in October 1906 as France's first minister of labour, leaving the new party and becoming an “Independent” Socialist. During his three years in Clemenceau's Cabinet, no effective reforms were enacted to ameliorate the condition of labour or the poor. Remaining minister of labour under Aristide Briand until November 1910, he was responsible for codifying all social legislation passed since 1900. After serving as minister of education (December 1913–June 1914), he became premier and minister of foreign affairs on June 16, 1914.

      When Germany declared war on France (Aug. 3, 1914), Viviani resigned as minister of foreign affairs; at the end of August he formed a government of national union, with representatives of all parties. Criticized for a munitions shortage, he resigned as premier in October 1915 but served as minister of justice until March 1917.

      Viviani represented France at the League of Nations at Geneva in 1920 and again in 1921 and at the Washington Naval Conference of that year. He entered the Senate in 1922 but took no further part in politics.
