Alfred Dreyfus was a French army officer of Jewish descent who became the central figure in a political scandal known as the Dreyfus Affair. In 1894, he was falsely accused and convicted of treason for allegedly passing military secrets to Germany, largely due to anti-Semitic sentiments. His conviction was based on dubious evidence, and the case eventually revealed deep divisions in French society regarding anti-Semitism and justice. The Dreyfus Affair led to significant public outcry and ultimately his exoneration in 1906.
