The capture of Paris by Prussian forces led to the French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War and the establishment of the German Empire.Napoleon III had declared war on Prussia convinced that his army was invincible. The Prussian Prime Minister Otto van Bismarck saw the fight with France as a way to bring unity to Bavaria, Wurttemberg and Baden--3 Germans states Prussia did not already control. Bismarck proved right.
