Descripción:

The southern German states joined the north in the Franco-Prussian War, due to alliances made at the end of the Austro-Prussian war.
The brotherhood of arms brought a sense of unity that was soon enhanced by the intoxication of victory. The German troops won one battle after another in hard fighting along the frontier, until on September 2 they forced a large French army, headed by the emperor himself, to surrender at Sedan.
