The Franco-Prussian War traces the 1870–71 conflict in which Prussia and its German allies defeated the Second French Empire. It follows the diplomatic crisis that preceded war, the rapid German victories, the capture of Napoleon III at Sedan and the siege of Paris. The book also covers the fall of the French Empire, the proclamation of the German Empire and the peace settlement that altered the European balance of power and left enduring Franco-German hostility.
