The Republican-Socialist Party (
socialist political party during the French Third Republic
founded in 1911 and dissolved in 1934.
Founded by non-Marxist socialists who refused to join the
French Minister of Labour (Ministre du Travail et de la Prévoyance sociale) from October 1906 until July 1909).[1]
The PRS was weakened by an ideological contradiction between socialism and reformism in an era where the political divide was very sharp. It also suffered from an organizational division between those favouring a united and structured party like the SFIO or an independent party with independent personalities. The party was dissolved in 1934.
In 1945, an attempt failed to recreate it within the
Rally of Left Republicans. Several PRS members headed French cabinets, including Viviani, Aristide Briand, Paul Painlevé, Alexandre Millerand and Joseph Paul-Boncour
