 The Civil War in France
Thus, on the very evening of the proclamation of the republic, Trochu's "plan" was known to his colleagues to be the capitulation of Paris.
During the whole continuance of the siege, the Bonapartist cut-throats, whom trochu had wisely intrusted with the command of the Paris army, exchanged, in their intimate correspondence, ribald jokes at the well-understood mockery of defence.
Jules Ferry, a penniless barrister before September 4, contrived, as mayor of paris during the siege, to job a fortune out of famine.

 Siege of Paris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Governor of Paris and commander-in-chief of the city's defenses General Louis Jules Trochu made no initial effort to prevent the Prussians from besieging the city, but once the siege began the French gave a strong defense launching several sorties against the Prussian lines but were unable to break through.
Bismarck immediately ordered the city to be bombarded heavy caliber Krupp siege guns, but the idea was overturned by von Blumenthal on the grounds that bombarding civilian targets would violate the rules of engagement.
The population began to suffer from starvation and with little hope of victory Trochu resigned as governor and left General Joseph Vinoy with 146,000 defenders to surrender on January 28, 1871.

After Napoleon's capture by the Prussians at Sedan, General Louis Jules Trochu and the politician Léon Gambetta overthrew the Second Empire and established the "Government of National Defence" which later became the conservative Third Republic.
Its creation was overshadowed by the settlement of peace terms with Prussia and the subsequent revolution in Paris known as the Paris Commune, which maintained a radical regime for two months until its bloody suppression in May 1871.
Moreover - and this became the ultimate reason the restoration never occurred - he refused to reign over a state that used the Tricolore that was associated with the Revolution of 1789 and the July Monarchy of the man who seized the throne from him in 1830, the citizen-king, Louis Philippe, King of the French.
