Bidault, Georges (b. 5 Oct. 1899, d. 26 Jan. 1983). Prime Minister of France 1946, 1949–50, 1958 He joined the French
Résistance in 1941, and succeeded Jean Moulin as leader of the National Resistance Council in 1943. After liberation in 1944 he co-founded the Christian Democrat
MRP, whose chairman he was 1949–52. As Foreign Minister (1944–6, 1947–8, 1953–4), he was responsible for the transition in 1947 of French policy towards Germany, from de
Gaulle's initial hardline stance to
Schuman's conciliatory attitude. His opposition to de Gaulle became more vociferous in 1959, when he opposed his policies to end the
Algerian War of Independence. He became president of the Rassemblement pour l'Algérie française (Union for French Algeria) and an executive member of the
Organisation de l'Armée Secrète. In 1963 he went into exile in Brazil and then Belgium, but returned in 1968.
