He Was The Second Elected President And The First Of The Third French Republic. Thiers Was A Key Figure In The July Revolution Of 1830 Which Overthrew King Charles X In Favor Of The More Liberal King Louis Philippe And The Revolution Of 1848 Which Overthrew The July Monarchy And Established The Second French Republic. He Served As A Prime Minister In 1836 And 1840 Dedicated The Arc De Triomphe And Arranged The Return To France Of The Remains Of Napoleon From Saint-Helena. He Was First A Supporter Then A Vocal Opponent Of Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte Who Served From 1848 To 1852 As President Of The Second Republic And Then Reigned As Emperor Napoleon Iii From 1852 To 1871. When Napoleon Iii Seized Power Thiers Was Arrested And Briefly Expelled From France. He Then Returned And Became An Opponent Of The Government. Following The Defeat Of France In The Franco-Prussian War Which He Opposed Thiers Was Elected Chief Executive Of The New French Government And Negotiated The End Of The War. When The Paris Commune Seized Power In March 1871 Thiers Gave The Orders To The Army For Its Suppression. At The Age Of Seventy-Four He Was Named President Of The Republic By The French National Assembly In August 1871. His Chief Accomplishment As President Was To Achieve The Departure Of German Soldiers From Most Of French Territory Two Years Ahead Of Schedule. Opposed By The Monarchists In The French National Assembly And The Left Wing Of The Republicans He Resigned On 24 May 1873 And Was Replaced As President By Patrice De Macmahon. When He Died In 1877 His Funeral Became A Major Political Event; The Procession Was Led By Two Of The Leaders Of The Republican Movement Victor Hugo And Léon Gambetta Who At The Time Of His Death Were His Allies Against The Conservative Monarchists.

He Also Wrote A Twenty-Volume History Of The Consulate And Empire Of Napoleon Bonaparte Histoire Du Consulat Et De L'empire. In 1834 He Was Elected To The Académie Française.
