Biography

Vincent Jules Auriol (French: [vɛ̃sɑ̃ oʁjɔl]; 27 August 1884 – 1 January 1966) was President of France from 1947 to 1954. A member of the French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO), he was the first president elected under the Fourth Republic. His presidential term was marked by the Indochina War, the implementation of the Monnet Plan for modernisation, as well as France joining the Council of Europe and NATO as a founding member.

First elected to the Chamber of Deputies from Haute-Garonne in 1914, Auriol served in government under the Third Republic as Minister of Finance (1936–1937) and Minister of Justice (1937–1938).
