Olivier Émile Ollivier (1825 – 1913) was a French statesman who became prime minister when Napoleon fell. On 15 July he made a hasty declaration in the Chamber that the Prussian government had rebuffed an ultimatum and he declared war on Prussia. On 9 August, with the news of the first disaster of the Franco-Prussian War, the Ollivier cabinet was driven from office.
