Alfred Dreyfus ( ; 9 October 1859 – 12 July 1935) was a French artillery officer of Alsatian origin and Jewish faith. In 1894, he fell victim to a judicial conspiracy that sparked a major political crisis during the Third Republic, known as the Dreyfus Affair (1894-1906), when he was wrongfully accused and convicted, due to antisemitism, of being a spy for the German Empire.
