Commentary
Raoul René Alphonse Bénard, né le 30 septembre 1881 à Elbeuf et mort en 1961 à Hendaye, est un graveur-médailleur français. Il est l'élève de Jules Chaplain. Il remporte le Prix de Rome en 1911 ainsi qu'une médaille d'argent au Salon des artistes français en 1922. Il est pensionnaire de la Villa Médicis de 1911 à 1920.
Il est le créateur des médailles des Jeux olympiques d'hiver de 1924 à Chamonix-Mont-Blanc ainsi que des médailles commémoratives des Jeux olympiques d'été de 1924 à Paris.
Les Jeux olympiques d'été de 1924, Jeux de la VIIIe olympiade de l'ère moderne, ont été célébrés à Paris, en France, du 4 mai au 27 juillet 1924. Pour ses adieux aux jeux, le baron Pierre de Coubertin milita en faveur de la capitale française, qui organisa ainsi ses deuxièmes jeux après ceux de 1900.
La devise olympique de Coubertin empruntée à l'abbé Henri Didon : « Citius, Altius, Fortius » (plus vite, plus haut, plus fort) est introduite à l'occasion de ces jeux, ainsi que le rituel de lever des trois drapeaux à la cérémonie de clôture.
En 1924, 44 nations et 3 089 athlètes (dont 135 femmes) prirent part à 126 épreuves dans 17 sports. Les athlètes les plus en vue de ces jeux furent les coureurs de fond finlandais à l'image de Paavo Nurmi ainsi que le nageur Johnny Weissmuller et l'escrimeur Roger Ducret..

Historical background
III REPUBLIC
(4/09/1870-10/07/1940)
The news of the capitulation of Sedan provokes the revolution of September 4, 1870 in Paris. Proclaimed at the Hôtel de Ville, the Republic is endowed with a provisional government called the Government of National Defense. Threatened on the left by the insurrection of the Commune and on the right by the monarchists, the new regime had a difficult start.. Initially head of the executive power (February 1871), Thiers was responsible for reorganizing the country before choosing its form of government.. He became President of the Republic in August 1871 and, despite his action to liberate the territory, had to leave his post in March 1873 in the face of royalist opposition.. He is then replaced by Mac-Mahon favorable to the restoration of the monarchy but this one is not restored following the question of the flag. The law of the septennat was then put in place in November 1873 and then, in 1875, the fundamental laws were passed which served as the Constitution of the Third Republic.. Parliamentary system, it is characterized in particular by the clear preponderance of the legislative power on the executive power. Anticlerical, the Third Republic makes school free, secular and compulsory but continues the colonial policy for its economic, strategic and moral ambitions. Separation of Church and State was passed in 1905.. The idea of revenge on Germany and significant nationalism are at the heart of the Boulangist crisis, the Panama scandal or the Dreyfus affair of the years 1886-1899, while foreign policy is very active, particularly in Morocco and that the arms race develops. The First World War was expensive for France, which only recovered from 1920 or even 1928 for the coin with the "Poincaré" franc.. The crisis of 1929 is felt only from 1932 but lasts until 1939, a period during which ministerial instability is very important. Wavering in 1934, the Third Republic found a new unitary cement with anti-fascism which enabled the Popular Front to come to power in 1936.. But, paralyzed against Germany, France was then bogged down in a "phony war" and then suffered one of the greatest defeats in its history in June 1940.. Gathered in the National Assembly in Vichy on July 10, 1940, the Chambers, although elected in 1936, voted full powers to Pétain in a sort of collective suicide by 569 votes for, 80 votes against and 18 abstentions..
