Motives: The Franco-Prussian War of 1870 to 1871 was a military conflict between France on the one hand and the North German Confederation under the leadership of Prussia and its allied southern German states of Bavaria, Württemberg, Baden and Hesse-Darmstadt on the other. The trigger was the dispute between France and Prussia over the question of a Hohenzollern prince's candidacy for the Spanish throne. The Prussian Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck had the Ems dispatch informing him that King Wilhelm I had rejected the French demands published in a provocatively shortened form. This aroused nationalist outrage on both sides and prompted the French Emperor Napoleon III. on 19. July 1870 to declare war on Prussia. Contrary to Napoleon's expectations, the four southern German states entered the war on its side in fulfillment of their so-called protective and defensive alliances with the North German Confederation. Meanwhile, the rest of Europe remained neutral, viewing France's attack as unfounded. Within a few weeks of late summer 1870, the French armies were defeated and Napoleon III. captured. The “Third Republic,” which then formed in France, continued the war. However, like the imperial government before it, it was hardly able to achieve any military successes. Of the major battles throughout the course of the war, all were lost or ended for France, such as the Battle of Mars-la-Tour (16. August 1870), in stalemate. The brief reoccupation of Orléans after the Battle of Coulmiers (9. November 1870) or victories at Villepion (1. December 1870) and Villersexel (9. January 1871) as well as the endurance of the French fortress garrison during the sieges of Bitsch and Belfort could not avert the overall defeat. Nevertheless, it was not until February 1871, after the fall of Paris, that the French government agreed to the preliminary peace treaty of Versailles. The war officially ended on the 10th. May 1871 with the Peace of Frankfurt, which provided for high reparations and the cession of Alsace-Lorraine by France. After the German-Danish and German Wars of 1864 and 1866, the conflict with France is considered the third and last of the German wars of unification. During its course, Baden, Bavaria, Württemberg and Hesse-Darmstadt joined the North German Confederation, which joined with effect from January 1st. January 1871 called the German Empire. The Prussian King Wilhelm I took the title “German Emperor” and Otto von Bismarck became the first Chancellor of the Reich. In France, the war not only resulted in the final abolition of the monarchy. Above all, the loss of Alsace-Lorraine created a lasting revanchism directed against Germany. In Germany, on the other hand, the idea of the so-called hereditary enmity towards France became entrenched. Both of these strained German-French relations well into the 20th century. century into. In France and in the English-speaking world, the war is also called the Franco-German War (Guerre Franco-Allemande or Franco-Prussian War). The Franco-Allemande War, which appeals to the Franco-Prussian War or the War of 1870, is a conflict with the opposition, from 19 July 1870 to 28 January 18715, France and a coalition of French-Prussians directed by Prusse and comprenant les vingt- et-un other États membres de la confédération de l'Allemagne du Nord ainsi que le royaume de Bavière, celui de Wurtemberg and the grand-duché de Bade6. On July 19, 1870, the French Empire declared the war in the Kingdom of Prusse6. The hostilities began on January 28, 1871 with the signature of an armistice. Ce conflict se solde par la défaite française, et, forts de this victoire, les états allerands s'unissent en un Empire allesand, proclamé au château de Versailles, le 18 January 1871. The victory entraîne l'annexion par le Reich du territoire d'Alsace-Moselle (dit Alsace-Lorraine) and l'affirmation de la Puissance allerande en Europe au détriment de l'Autriche-Hongrie et de la France. The failure of the Sedan and the capitulation of Napoléon III, provoked, on September 4th, 1870, the end of the Second Empire, the exile of Napoléon III and the marquee of the Renaissance in France, a régime républicain pérenne with the Troisième République. La défaite et la perte de l'Alsace-Lorraine provoquèrent en France un sentiment de frustration qui contribua à l'échec du pacifisme, et plus tard, à l'entrée du pays dans la Première Guerre mondiale.
