In 1870 Napoleon
The Third of France's Second Empire fell
At the hands of the newly strong Prussian-
Led North German Confederation, well-
Defeated in a month or two, the real
Cause was Bismarck's provocation over
The issue of the Spanish throne. The full
Might of the Germans, marshalled by Moltke
Easily won the Franco-Prussian War
Encircling the French up there at Sedan
They besieged Paris which fell when they shelled
It. 'New republic!' announced Gambetta
Despite this, Paris was run by Commune
Till the French army quashed it very well
