Dreyfus exonerated and reinstated
1906 · Event
France's highest court annuls the Rennes verdict entirely; days later Dreyfus is reinstated, promoted, and decorated with the Légion d'honneur in the same courtyard where his sword was broken eleven years before. The affair's legacies run on: the separation of church and state, a transformed press — and, via Herzl's Vienna dispatches, modern Zionism.
