The '''Franco-Prussian War''' of 1870-1871 (also called ''Franco-German war'' or ''1870 war'') was the result of [[Otto von Bismarck]]'s plan to unify Germany. It was fought by the [[North German Federation]] (led by [[Prussia]]), and the southern [[German]] states of [[Baden-Wuerttemberg|Baden]], [[Baden-Wuerttemberg|Wuerttemberg]], and [[Bavaria]]  against  France under emperor [[Napoleon III]]. It involved a winter-time siege of Paris and ended with the [[Treaty of Frankfurt]]. The main result of the war was the secession of the [[French|France]] regions of Alsace and Lorraine to Prussia and the rise of a unified Germany as the dominant continental ]]Europe]]an power. This in turn led to a simmering resentment of [[Germany]] in [[France]] which in turn contributed to French public support for [[World War One]] as a means to win back the lands ceded to Germany.
