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.
