Rachel Chrastil - Penguin Books UK

The book concludes that the Germans won because they were more effectively organised, better trained and mobilised more men than the French. The army of the Second Empire fought well but was exhausted and hindered by the incompetence of Napoleon III. After the war, other European states sought to replicate Prussian success by expanding military conscription, developing a general staff and introducing professional military education. They placed higher value on the importance of logistics, especially railways, as well as improved communications and medical care for soldiers. The Germans drew different lessons. Believing that unification had come about as a result of military competence, they mapped the future of the German Empire in terms of military power. Thus, Chrastil concludes, German victory in 1871 became catastrophic not just for Germany but ultimately for the rest of the world.

Brown Military Collection. Brown Digital Repository. Brown University Library. Public Domain. France mobilized and declared war on July 19. The German states saw France as the aggressor, and—swept up by nationalism and patriotic zeal—they rallied to Prussia’s side and provided troops. A series of swift Prussian and German victories in eastern France, culminating in the Siege of Metz and the Battle of Sedan, saw Napoleon III captured and the army of the Second Empire decisively defeated. A Government of National Defense declared the Third Republic in Paris on September 4 and continued the war for another five months; the German forces fought and defeated new French armies in northern France. Following the Siege of Paris, the capital fell on January 28, 1871, and then a revolutionary uprising called the Paris Commune seized power in the capital and held it for two months until it was bloodily suppressed by the regular French army at the end of May 1871.Stephen, Martin (1988).
