Central Powers, Franco-Prussian War (jan 1, 1870 – jan 1, 1871)
Description:
 Sought to protect the political status quo in Europe, but the leaders of other nations viewed this new constellation of power with suspicion. This response was especially true of French leaders, who neither forgot nor forgave Frances's humiliating defeat during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871
