Stephen Badsey examines the build-up, battles, and impact of the war, which was an overwhelming Prussian victory with massive consequences. The French Second Empire collapsed, Napoleon III became an exile in Britain, and King Wilhelm I was proclaimed Emperor of the new united Germany. In the peace settlement that followed, Germany gained the eastern French provinces of Alsace and Lorraine, areas that were to provide a bone of contention for years to come. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUpdated and revised, with full-colour maps and new images throughout, this is a concise study of the largest and most important war fought in Europe between the age of Napoleon and the First World War, a war that marked the beginning of the creation of modern Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472851369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 6.01w x 0.35d","brand":"Stephen Badsey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41574036930741,"sku":"9781472851369","price":23.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8f3b8e9b-ed48-4353-adba-010b282da76b.jpg?v=1643688547","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-franco-prussian-war-1870-71-9781472851369","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
