Clémenceau was like Putin today , officialy not at the power but control everything , in 1906 he took the power of the defence till 1909 , in 1913 " officialy " not at the power , wrote everyday in the newpapers his hate toward Germany , anyway compared to the others , Clémencau had some HUGE support from Foch and Petain .

@NasriTheNewKing, Hopeless discussion. Please learn history before asserting anything. You could fill the Internet with your opinions, without proving anything.
As for Clemenceau, he did not "take power" (France had a parliamentary regime, which controlled cabinets tightly and overthrew them periodically). He was Prime minister several times in 1906-1909, then went back to being a simple deputy. He had no power in 1914. Besides, no French politician since 1880 wanted a war against Germany.
-
And for the german historian Fritz Fischer , the war between france and Germany became inevitable in 1905 , 1905 the year when Clémenceau took the power .
-
And many historian said that the reasons other than the assasination was the lost of Alsace-lorraine , the franco-prussian war and the balkan war which started WW1.

You see what you've said have no sence at all , now you say they first invaded belgium while you said they declared war on belgium on the 4th and on France the 3rd .
-
The war was planned since 1871 to take back Alsace-lorraine region , Clémenceau made a anti-german propaganda, why do you think when the War happened the french were almost singing , walking against germany, and that's why they made the schliffen plan highed influenced by the franco-prussian war, because they saw it coming , and now why put russia in that plan? Were they magician to know that they will also enter in war against russia? Remember Clémenceau wasn't a peace man.

@NasriTheNewKing, Oh God! Germany first invaded Luxemburg and Belgium without a declaration of war. Besides, plenty of war plans are elaborated all the time, just in case: They don't automatically led to war. In July 1914, most decision-makers believed that this new crisis would be solved by the diplomats, as other crises had been since 1900: peacefully. There is no strict determinism in history.

Nop it does not fit my logic for the simple reason called the Schlieffen plan , if you have opend "hundred history books " you know what that plan was , to invade France through Belgium ( which allowed britain to enter in the war ) which obligate them to declares war on Belgium before France , anyway Clemenceau was already talking about the war in 1906 , and look when the plan was made 1913 , whch show that the war was already planned . It was just a matter of time.

@NasriTheNewKing, thanks for the advice. I've read more than a hundred history books and memoirs abour WW1. Fact is that Germany declared war against France on August 3rd, 1914. Sorry if this fact does not fit with your "logic".
-
Instead of reading bulsshits from wikipedia , you should open a history book , France had alreade mobilized his whole army before Germany declares war on Russia , France declared war the same day as the German declaration ofd war on Russia , even your source aren't even logic , how the Fuck Germany can declares war on France before Belgium ?
