1974, Deaths: French President Georges Pompidou

On April 2, French President Georges Pompidou dies of cancer. Pompidou won the 1968 French presidential election against his opponent, interim president Alain Poher, with more than 58% of the vote. Pompidou is also the compiler of an anthology of French poetry and the architecturally interesting Centre Pompidou in Paris is named after him.

President Georges Pompidou

Georges Jean Raymond Pompidou was born on 5 July 1911 in Montboudif. He was the grandson of farmers of modest means in Cantal. His parents were teachers. He taught literature at the lycée Henri IV in Paris. In 1956, he was appointed the bank's general manager, a position that he held until 1962. He served as prime minister of France under de Charles Gaulle from 14 April 1962 to 10 July 1968. After the failure of the 1969 constitutional referendum, de Gaulle resigned and Pompidou was elected president of France. In the general election of 15 June 1969, he defeated the centrist President of the Senate and Acting President Alain Poher by a wide margin (58% to 42%).
