Legislative elections were held in France on 26 April and 10 May 1914, three months before the outbreak of World War I. The Radical Socialist Party emerged as the largest party, though, with the outbreak of the First World War, many in the Chamber, ranging from Catholics to socialists, united to form the Union sacrée.
The elections saw 192 new members elected.Le Matin 12 May 1914
Alexandre Ribot, a member of the Democratic Republican Alliance, negotiated a government on 9 June 1914, but its perceived overly-centrist leanings lead much of the left-wing of the Radical Party to rebel against it, bringing it down on the day it was presented to the chamber. Ribot was quickly succeeded by René Viviani of the Republican-Socialist Party, who formed a centre-left government on 13 June, only four days later.
