jan 1, 1871 - Paris Commune

Description:

After France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian war, the liberal National Guard rebuffed the Third Republic's effort to disarm them and formed an independent Paris, a government called the Paris Commune. The conservative president of France, Adolphe Thiers, sent more troops to capture Paris and a bloodbath ensued. The Communards were defeated.
