Jules François Camille Ferry (French: [ʒyl fɛʁi]; 5 April 1832 – 17 March 1893) was a French statesman and republican philosopher.[1] He was one of the leaders of the Moderate Republicans and served as Prime Minister of France from 1880 to 1881 and 1883 to 1885. He was a promoter of laicism and colonial expansion.[2] Under the Third Republic, Ferry made primary education free and compulsory through several new laws.[1][3] However, he was forced to resign following the Sino-French War in 1885 due to his unpopularity and public opinion against the war.
