Alfred Dreyfus, a French Jewish army officer, was framed for treason primarily due to rampant anti-Semitism within the French military and society. In 1894, he was falsely accused of passing military secrets to Germany, a charge motivated by a desire to scapegoat a Jewish officer amid nationalistic tensions. The subsequent trial was marked by irregularities and a lack of evidence, but Dreyfus was convicted, reflecting deep-seated prejudices rather than factual guilt. His wrongful conviction sparked a major political scandal and led to significant societal debates about anti-Semitism and justice in France.
