Presidents and Prime Ministers of France
The French Republic was first established in 1792 after the Revolution, though the presidency only came into existence with the Second Republic in 1848. The Third (1870-1940), Fourth (1947-1959) and Fifth (1959-present) Republics have also had presidents. The modern Prime Minister's office dates to 1815, titled Président du Conseil des Ministres until 1959, then Premier ministre. Unlike some European democracies, the French Prime Minister wields less actual power than the President.
