FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR



This war took time from 1870 to 1871. It was lost by France to the German under the leadership of Prussia. The reasoning for this conflict was the ambition of the  the leader of the Prussian and , Otto Edward Von Bismark to be in  control  by completely elimination of the French  influence over  Germany. The Franco- Prussian war caused a great shift of political influence and completely altered the balance of what everyone knew as power in Europe. Otto was a very tricky man and he often cheated to win, like the time he did it the naughty way with France by sending them a letter that said that he agreed to give France part of his territory and to form alliances to defeats the other opponents.  Because he changed the famous Von Ems Telegram, France got really insulted and angry so they started the Franco- Prussian war. In consequence France´s power deceased and what Napoleon did was destroyed thru just ONE YEAR! France couldn’t fight against Germany, I mean there´s no compare between Germany´s weapons and France´s.
The Treaty of Frankfurt, signed in 1871, ended the war between France and Germany.

1. Napoleon was born Napoleone di Buonaparte but my mother-in-law called him Nabulio. 

2. Although, Napoleon didn't believed in the existence of God, he was a Roman Catholic. 

3. My husband was also a writer. He loved to write romantic novells! 

4. Bonaparte suffered from hemorrhoids... so disgusting for me! 

5. Me and this wonderful man had a childless marriage that was annulled. He then married an ugly and repulsive woman which was the daughter of that time Austrian Emperor. 

6. I was a really beautiful woman, but I would always had my mouth closed, so no one could find out my bad breath. 

7. I always thought he didn't love me. For my big surprise in his delirium of death, Napoleon said: "France, armée, tête d'armée, Joséphine."("France, army, head of the army, Joséphine.")


8. You may not believe me this one, but contrary in what you think... He was not so short! Napoleon was 5 feet 6 inches tall. 

9. Napoleon was truly, madly and deeply in love with a horse called Marengo. 

10. My dear one died in May 5, 1821. Autopsy revealed that he had stomach cancer, but I surely believe he was poisoned.
