Prussian War

The Prussian War generally refers to conflicts involving the Kingdom of Prussia, most notably the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871. This war was fought between Prussia (a powerful German kingdom) and France, leading to Prussian victories that unified many German states into the German Empire. The war was driven by political and military rivalry, with Prussia's skilled leadership and modernized army playing key roles. It resulted in the defeat of France, the fall of Napoleon III, and significant shifts in European power, setting the stage for future conflicts in the region.
