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\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Badsey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472851366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472851369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\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":"Paperback","offer_id":44045453590783,"sku":"9781472851369","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_070d07f5-b51c-4ab1-8c41-7b2132323e4b.jpg?v=1684978843","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-franco-prussian-war-stephen-badsey-9781472851369","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
