Francois Pierre Guillaume Guizot (4 October 1787 - 12 September 1874) was a French historian, orator, and statesman. Guizot was a dominant figure in French politics prior to the Revolution of 1848. Guizot’s influence was critical in expanding public education, which under his ministry saw the creation of primary schools in every French commune. As Prime Minister, it was Guizot’s ban on political meetings (called the campagne des banquets or the Paris Banquets) of an increasingly vigorous opposition in January 1848 that catalyzed the Revolution that toppled Louis Philippe in February and saw the establishment of the French Second Republic.
