reblog! like!This is Georges Clemenceau, the French representative at the Paris Peace Conference, one of the leading writers of the Treaty of Versailles, and the man with the most dramatic mustache ever.
He advocated the harsh treatment of Germany because it was an aggressor nation of the Central Powers. He also demanded the return of the Alsace-Lorraine, because it was dominated by French people.
