One political cartoon shows this man riding into battle on a snail. Early in his Parliamentary career, this man was a protégé of Jacques Lafitte who led a radical faction opposed to the conservative Guizot Ministry. Later, this man defeated General Jaroslaw Dabrowski and arrested Louis Blanqui and his (*) socialist followers, solidifying this man's position as interim head of state. The government that this man created passed the Jules Ferry laws and despite scandals such as the Boulanger Affair survived until World War Two. For ten points, name this French politician who shut down the Paris Commune and created the Third Republic.
