Description: "This epic struggle between France and Prussia saw the fall of Paris, and left France politically divided and on the brink of economic ruin. The fall of the Second French Empire laid the ground for Otto von Bismarck to establish the German Empire. This was the first European war in which both principal adversaries used railroads, electric telegraph, rifles, and breech-loading artillery: technological innovations that revolutionized warfare in the 19th and 20th centuries."
