Why was Alfred Dreyfus framed?

Alfred Dreyfus was framed due to a combination of anti-Semitism, nationalism, and military secrecy in France during the late 19th century. As a Jewish officer in the French army, he became a scapegoat for military failures, and his conviction for treason was based on forged evidence. The case highlighted deep societal divisions, leading to a significant public outcry and the eventual exposure of the miscarriage of justice. Dreyfus's wrongful conviction became a pivotal moment in the fight against anti-Semitism and for civil rights in France.
