FRANCO-GERMAN WAR - LoveToKnow Article on FRANCO-GERMAN WAR The losses of the Germans during the whole war were 28,000 dead and 101,000 wounded and disabled, those of the French, 156,000 dead (17,000 of whom died, of sickness and wounds, as prisoners in German hands) and 143,000 wounded and disabled. The so-called fog of war the armed inhabitants, francs-tireurs, sedentary national guard and volunteersprevented the German cavalry from venturing far out from the infantry camps around Paris, and behind this screen the new 15th army corps assembled on the Loire. The Germans were so elated by their victory over the enemy, whose strength they naturally overestimated, that they forgot to send cavalry in pursuit, and thus entirely lost touch with the enemy. 35.1911encyclopedia.org /F/FR/FRANCO_GERMAN_WAR.htm   (10257 words)

History of the Franco-Prussian War In the Franco-Prussian War (1870—71) that ensued the states of S Germany rallied to the Prussian cause as Bismarck had anticipated, and in Jan., 1871, William I of Prussia was proclaimed German emperor. The military conduct of the war was, for the Germans, in the hands of Helmuth Karl Bernhard von Moltke, a military genius.

Amazon.com: Books: The Franco-Prussian War : The German Conquest of France in 1870-1871 German fuses were also better and the Germans pushed their artillery further forward, but none of this added up to a decisive advantage. German logistics were equally close to collapse once they pushed deep into France, and this over-reliance on distant rail heads would come back to haunt Germany in future wars. Military historian Wawro gives a comprehensive and lucid account of the political and diplomatic dimensions of the war, which redrew Europe's map and announced the arrival of the German Empire as a world power, but his emphasis is on the conflict as an omen of the future of warfare. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0521584361?v=glance   (4453 words)

Learning from a family friend that he was the son of a German soldier came as a shock to the taxi driver, who does not speak a word of German. The Nazis allowed German soldiers to marry women from Norway or the Netherlands deemed Aryan, but they banned liaisons with the French, considered an inferior race, Picaper said. www.boston.com /news/world/europe/articles/2004/05/31/franco_german_war_bastards_speak_out?mode=PF   (895 words)

Nach Paris - The Franco - Prussian War of 1870 The war of 1870 is perhaps more accurately called the Franco - German war, as all the remaining states of Germany participated in the war. Bavarian, Wurttemburg and Baden (the south German) line units should generally be Green as their performance during the war was not very committed. Many, if not all of the south German commanders should be 'poor' because of their lack of enthusiasm for the war. www.wfgamers.org.uk /resources/C19/1870.htm   (1268 words)

Franco-German War As a result of the war King William I of Prussia was proclaimed German emperor, French prestige declined, and a period of 40 years of unstable peace between the major powers of Europe ensued. Within four weeks the Germans under the leadership of General Helmuth von Moltke encircled the French army in Metz. Bismarck further infuriated France with a provocative message (the Ems telegram) and Napoleon III, the French emperor, declared war. www.hyperhistory.com /online_n2/civil_n2/histscript6_n2/franco_ger.html   (143 words)

EbooksLib, Your source for quality eBooks! I hold, then, that no such Franco-German war as the last one can again occur. Generally speaking, however, I have given only a sketch of the latter part of the Franco-German War. At the present time the German birth-rate is certainly falling, but the numerical superiority which Germany has acquired over France since the war of 1870 is so great that I feel it would be impossible for the latter to triumph in an encounter unless she should be assisted by powerful allies. www.ebookslib.com /?a=sa&b=7124   (801 words)

Franco-Prussian War battlefield tour Proving Clauswitz’s maxim that ‘war is but a continuation of diplomacy’, Bismarck and the ingenious Prussian Chief of Staff, von Moltke, set about provoking and executing a series of successful European wars that would ensure that there was no effective resistance to the unification of Germany under Prussian guidance. In the mid nineteenth century German nationalism was rising and Prussia’s Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck, was not slow in harnessing the power of such sentiments for the benefit of his country. A proud France under the control of Napoleon III was the last obstacle to this goal, and in a period of less than six months Germany had not only defeated France but had unwittingly become the catalyst for the downfall of Napoleon III and the establishment of the 3rd Republic. www.midastours.co.uk /t106a.html   (588 words)

Someone in the German media circle criticized that Schroeder was more absolute than France, because France did not rule out the use of force as the last resort.

Franco-Prussian War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Franco-Prussian War ( July 19, 1870 – May 10, 1871) was fought between France and Prussia (backed by the North German Confederation) allied with the south German states of Baden, Bavaria and Württemberg. In France and Germany the war is known as the Franco-German War, in French as La guerre franco-allemande de 1870 (French-German War of 1870) and in German as Deutsch-Französischer Krieg (German-French War), which perhaps more accurately describes the combatants rather than simply France and Prussia alone. The war began over the possible ascension of a German candidate to the Spanish throne, which was opposed by France. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Franco-Prussian_War   (1553 words)

The Franco-Prussian War and Immediate Aftermath By destroying Austrian influence in the Italian peninsula and in North Germany, and by creating an aggressive North German Confederation dominated by Prussia, the nationalist wars of the 1860's succeeded in destabilizing central Europe. Particularly after the 1867 Luxembourg Crisis, when the North German Confederation kept the France from acquiring the autonomous Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, war between the established French state and the rising German federation was widely thought to be inevitable. An ill-written French denunciation was matched by a Prussian distortion, and soon the French Empire and the North German Confederation -- joined by the south German states of Baden, Württemburg, and Bavaria -- were preparing for war. www.ahtg.net /TpA/frpruswar.html   (1553 words)
