	Franco-Prussian War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Prussian Army held a brief victory parade in Paris on February 17th, and Bismarck honoured the armistice by sending trainloads of food into Paris and withdrawing Prussian forces to the east of the city, which would be withdrawn as soon as France paid the agreed war indemnity.
		The Prussian army was unique in Europe for having the only General Staff in existence, whose sole purpose was to direct operational movement, organise logistics and communications and develop the overall war strategy.
		The war began over the possible ascension of a candidate from Prussia's Hohenzollern royal family to the Spanish throne, which was opposed by France.

	Franco Prussian War
		The Franco-Prussian War, was a war in 1870-1871 lost by France to the German states under the leadership of Prussia.
		The event directly precipitating the Franco-Prussian War was the candidacy of Leopold, prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, for the throne of Spain, rendered vacant by the Spanish revolution of 1868.
		The Prussian statesman realized that this move would in all probability precipitate war, but he knew that Prussia was prepared, and he counted on the psychological effect of a French declaration of war to rally the south German states to Prussia's cause, thus accomplishing the final phase in the unification of Germany.

	The Franco-Prussian War and Immediate Aftermath
		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.

		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.

		The war marked the beginning of the rise of a united Germany to Great Power status with the resulting commercial and military confrontation with the British Empire which came to a head in 1914.
