The war also caused the collapse of the prior French government (the Second Empire) and the formation of the 3rd Republic. The backdrop here is the Franco-Prussian war in 1870 which was a resounding victory for Prussia (which would later serve as the heart of a unified Germany) and involved a devastating siege of Paris as well as the annexation of the border areas of Alsace-Lorraine (which had been part of France previously).
