Discussing the surrender of France after the Battle of Sedan, Franco-Prussian War, 1870 (1900). Artist: Georg Bleibtreu

Discussing the surrender of France after the Battle of Sedan, Franco-Prussian War, 1870 (1900). General Faure, General de Wimpffen, Moltke and Bismarck. Sedan was a national humiliation for the French, as their army was decisively defeated by the Prussians commanded by Moltke, and the Emperor Napoleon III captured. The defeat led to the fall of the French Second Empire and the occupation of Paris by the Germans and, in 1871, the creation of the German Empire. A print from The Life and Times of Queen Victoria, by Robert Wilson, Volume IV, Cassell and Company, London, Paris, New York, Melbourne, 1900.
