DEUTSCH-FRANZOESISCHER KRIEG SCHLACHT BEI SEDAN
Battle of Sedan, France, Franco-Prussian War, 1870. View of the battlefield from where Wilhelm I, King of Prussia, stood. 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. From The Illustrated London News, 1 October 1870.
