In favor of a total victory over the German Empire, he militated for the restitution of Alsace-Lorraine to France. He was one of the principal architects of the Treaty of Versailles at the France Peace Conference of 1919. Nicknamed "Père la Victoire" (Father Victory) or "Le Tigre" (The Tiger) , he took a harsh position against defeated Germany, though not quite as much as the President Raymond Poincaré, and won agreement on Germany's payment of large sums for reparations…. , His career was … clouded by the long-drawn-out Dreyfus case, in which he took an active part as a supporter of Émile Zola and an opponent of the anti-Semitic and nationalist campaigns. In all, Clemenceau published 665 articles defending Dreyfus during the affair. On 13 January 1898, Clemenceau, published Émile Zola's ‘J'accuse’ on the front page of the Paris daily newspaper L'Aurore, of which he was owner and editor. …” (Wikipedia, 2016) Clemenceau published “Justice Militaire” during the founding year of the Radical Party.
