German Military Advantage
-- German coalition faster at mobilising its troops
-- German numbers superior
-- Germans had better training & leadership
-- Germans made more effective use of modern tech (esp. rail-roads & artillery)
-- series of French defeats
-- culminated in:
     -- Siege of Metz

European balance of power
(in existence since Congress of Vienna 1815) upset re:
1.  German conquest of France
2.  unification of Germany
--  Otto von Bismarck large influence on international affairs for next 2 decades

Among World War I factors relating back to Franco-Prussian War:
-- French determined to regain Alsace-Lorraine
-- French fear of another Franco-German war
-- British apprehension re balance of power

Other:
-- Germans viewed French as the traditional destabiliser of Europe
-- weakening of France required to prevent further breaches of peace

-- Bismark had reportedly altered telegram sent by William I (Ems Dispatch)
-- & released it to public
-- at issue at time was throne of Spain
  • -- Prussian prince put forward
  • -- France anticipates encirclement by alliance b/w Prussia & Spain
-- French diplomatic pressure on Prussia
-- Prussia withdraws candidacy of Prussian Prince
-- allegedly altered telegraph
-- sounded as if Prussian king had insulted French envoy
-- French public opinion inflamed
-- French politicians vote for war
-- French looking for excuse for war:  diplomatic defeat in 1866
-- cocky French thought they'd beat the Prussians
-- plus French had growing domestic problems
-- French historians dispute this ... but they would

 
-- Ems Telegram
-- "This text produced the effect of a red flag on the Gallic bull" -- Bismarck
-- French foreign minister declares he felt he received a 'slap'
-- PM Emile Ollivier the war hawk

-- early incarnation of CIA must have been there was well:
    -- 15,000 to 20,000 bearing flags & banners
    -- march Paris streets, demanding war

-- French declare war
-- southern German states immediately side with Prussia

French Military Disadvantage
French low on peacetime regulars & conscripts
-- there had been the following French military actions:
    -- Crimean War
    -- Algeria
    -- Franco-Austrian War (in Italy)
    -- Franco-Mexican War
  
    *intended reforms re universal conscription (rather than ballot)
    + shorter service periods
    = intended to swell French numbers
    -- but Franco-Prussian War broke out befor reforms implemented entirely

-- Prussian Army was composed not of regulars but conscripts
-- Prussia + North & South German allies = 1 million soldiers in time of war

*wow, this is exciting ...
Feels almost like I'm there, 'Mademoiselle la France'
... I double dare you ;)
 
Germans Military
-- move in small groups / harder to target (verses line/column advancement)
-- emphasis on encirclement tactics
-- emphasis on artillery whenever possible
-- German numbers advantage made encirclement tactic easier
-- ageing Dryese needle gun (25-year old design), Germans
-- BUT, Germans had:   Krupp 6-pounder (3 kg) steel breech-loading cannons
-- equals longer range & higher rate of fire than French cannons / faulty time fuses
-- Prussian army unique in Europe for being only to have 'General Staff'
-- peacetime purpose was to prepare overall war strategy
-- wartime purpose:  direct operational movement, logistics & communications
-- officers hand-picked from Prussian War Academy (Kriegsakademie)
-- Field Marshall Helmuth von Moltke, head of General Staff
-- adopted new tech, esp. railroad & telegraph
-- result:  large forces mobilised in coordinated & speedy fashion
*Wow, I'm impressed ... now I know why the Prussians were considered militarists
-- Prussians sound exactly what you want in a military force
-- as exciting as this is, i need a bit of a break for the time being

NOTE:  Italians cannot be trusted in war
1.  Changed sides WWI
2.  Garibaldi pro Germans in Franco-Prussian War
      goes from "war to the death to Bonaparte"
      to "rescue the French Republic by very means"
    Garibaldi commands Italian volunteer army France 
    *these volunteer Italian forces had fought during:
  •         -- successful unification of Italy
  •         -- in South America
    -- after French surrender in Paris to Germans, army disbanded
    -- Garibaldi elected to serve in National Assembly of Dijon
    -- but he was shouted down & resigned his seat / returned to Italy
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_of_the_Vosges

WWII occupation of Paris must have been of cultural, national, historical significance to the German command, military, historians etc. - goes all the way back to Napoleon & unification etc.

COMMENT

Be militarily prepared & don't declare war unless you are.  

Never underestimate British ruling class' ruthlessness and the greed.

Don't rely on Italy in war:  Italy switches sides.
