Joseph Joffre was Commander-in-Chief, a position he had held since 1911. While serving in this position, Joffre was responsible for development of the Plan XVII blueprint for the invasion of Germany, which proved unsuccessful. Joffre was thought to be the 'Savior of France' due to his serenity and a refusal to admit defeat, valuable at the beginning of the war, along with his regrouping of retreating allied forces at the Battle of the Marne.

France was one of the Triple Entente powers during World War I along with Russia and England. In the long run, actions in World War I were bound by treaties. France had a treaty with Russia, who in turn had a treaty with Serbia. Joseph Joffre was the French Commander in Chief for much of World War I.
France began World War One with Joseph Joffre as Commander-in-Chief. He was replaced by Robert Nivelle in December 1916. Nivelle was replaced by Henri-Philippe Petain in April 1917. In March 1918, the Allies promoted Ferdinand Foch to "Supreme Commander." Although Petain remained the French Commander-in-Chief, he took his orders from Foch. This list only includes the generals at the top - the true number is in the hundreds.
Charles de Gaulle was the leader of the Free French government in WWII. Like many of the other western European countries with "governments-in-exile", the members of the Free French government lived in England for the duration.
