The Dreyfus Affair

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, France was shaken by a crisis that shook French society. An army officer was wrongly convicted in a sham trial. Then over the next several years, the French military doubled down, refusing to acknowledge what they had done, and punished everyone who attempted to prove them wrong, and even letting the guilty party go. The long-term results of the controversy changed France in ways that can still be felt today.
