It was the Agence de Feuilles Politiques et Correspondences founded in Paris, in 1832, by French financist Charles-Louis Havas (who had a Hungarian Jewish background), a former financial agent of Napoleon Bonaparte. In the beginning, it was merely an office to translate and sell news reports gathered from abroad in foreign newspapers and commercial newsletters. Three years later, he renamed it Agence Havas after himself, and it became the first news agency known as such. In 1944, during the liberation of France from the Nazi, the government of Free France (led by General Charles de Gaulle) nationalized Agence Havas and renamed it Agence France-Presse, which is kept until today.
