Franco-Prussian War

WARNING:

With the French,
Mind the stench!


Franco-Prussian War is the historical event where France thought they could 1v1 Prussia and ended up getting absolutely dogwalked in public. It led to France taking the fattest L since they decided to invade Russia in winter and gave birth to Germany, who immediately started side-eyeing Europe like a final boss.

Prussia giving France a complimentary slap into the 19th century.

Prominent participants

  • Otto von Bismarck - The giga-brain who baited France into war with a few spicy edits to a telegram.
  • Napoleon III - The French emperor who saw the bait, bit down like a piranha, and ragequit after losing his whole army at Sedan.
  • Helmuth von Moltke - The Prussian nerd who turned military logistics into a cheat code.
  • King Wilhelm I - Flexed so hard he became Emperor of Germany in a French palace (LMAO).

Reasons why France got ratioed

  • Prussia had actual guns that worked, not cosplay muskets.
  • Prussian generals used railroads and telegrams while France was still arguing about which wig to wear into battle.
  • Bismarck out-memed the French by leaking the Ems Dispatch, causing France to declare war first like a bunch of NPCs.
  • France literally had zero allies.
  • Napoleon III forgot that good vibes alone don't win wars.

Aftermath

  • Prussia embarrassed France so badly that Paris started cosplaying as Fallout New Vegas during the Commune.
  • Germany was born in the Hall of Mirrors like the ultimate petty move.
  • France lost Alsace-Lorraine and started coping for the next 50 years.
  • Germany became Europe's new Giga Chad while France went home to journal about it.
