French battleship Démocratie
''Démocratie'' was a pre-dreadnought battleship of the ''Liberté'' class built by the French Navy. She had three sister ships: ''Liberté'', ''Justice'', and ''Vérité''. ''Démocratie'' was laid down in May 1903, launched in April 1904, and completed in January 1908, over a year after the revolutionary British battleship made ships like ''Démocratie'' obsolete. She was armed with a main battery of four guns, compared to the ten guns of the same caliber mounted on ''Dreadnought''.
Despite her out-dated design, ''Démocratie'' served with the French Mediterranean Fleet throughout her career, including during World War I. She participated in the Battle of Antivari in late August 1914, and spent the majority of the war based off the coast of Greece, in Corfu and Mudros, to keep the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman navies bottled up in port, though she saw no further action. After the end of the war, she went into the Black Sea to assist in the enforcement of the terms of the Armistice with Germany. ''Démocratie'' was stricken in 1921 and subsequently broken up for scrap.
