Abstract

[The elections of October 1877, which gave the republicans a majority of 119 in the Chamber of Deputies, sealed the victory for which Gambetta and Léon had struggled since 1872. The Republic had triumphed and monarchism would never again pose a serious threat. Gambetta had been pivotal to this triumph. He led the largest republican faction in the Chamber: roughly one hundred of the 326 republican Deputies were aligned with him. Nevertheless, President MacMahon not only refused to appoint him to lead a government; he even refused to include him in the ministry.2]
