Under this man, a major supporter waged a horrific reign of terror as chief of police that included dissolving the body of the Tricontinental Conference leader in a vat of acid, slaughtering 9 CGT activists in a metro station, and chucking peaceful demonstrators into the river.

This man was opposed by the "Third Force," which TIME called a "rambling coalition of center parties," while the Union for Popular Movement is the largest (*) current party linked with his politics. He signed the Elysee Treaty with Adenauer and was nearly killed by the OAS over the Evian Accords, a ceasefire with the FLN, after replacing Rene Coty as President following the Algerian Crisis. The tumult of May 1968 led Georges Pompidou to replace this man, who had led the provisional government after Petain's Vichy regime was disbanded. For 10 points, name this first President of the Fifth Republic who also led the Free French during World War II.
