The Franco-Prussian War by Stephen Badsey
The Franco-Prussian War broke out in 1870 when Bismarck engineered a war with the French Second Empire under Napoleon I. This was part of his wider political strategy of uniting Prussia with the southern German states, excluding Austria. In this book, Dr Stephen Badsey examines the build-up, battles, and impact of the war, which was an overwhelming Prussian victory with massive consequences. King Wilhelm I was proclaimed Emperor of the new united Germany, the Second Empire collapsed and Napoleon I became an exile in Britain. In the peace settlement with the French Third Republic in 1871 Germany gained the eastern French provinces of Alsace and Lorraine, areas that were to provide a bone of contention for years to come.-
