Editor's Take:

Nicolas Sarkozy brought an energetic, hands-on and often combative style to the French presidency. The son of a Hungarian immigrant, he rose through local politics and was a high-profile interior minister before winning the presidency in 2007. His term was dominated by the global financial crisis and the eurozone debt crisis, during which he worked closely with Germany's Angela Merkel. He was defeated by François Hollande in 2012 after a single term. In later years he was convicted in several legal cases related to corruption and campaign financing, becoming one of the first former French presidents to face such rulings.
