In the Battle of Sedan and the Siege of Metz, the French army was decisively defeated In particular, French Emperor Napoleon III was captured at the Battle of Sedan leading to the collapse of the Second Empire and the creation of the Third Republic of France. The war continued, after the Third Republic was declared for five more months. The Germans continued to defeat the new French armies in northern France. Following the Siege of Paris, the capital fell on 28 January 1871. Upon this victory, the Third Republic's leadership signed the Treaty of Frankfurt of 10 May 1871, which gave Germany most of Alsace and some parts of Lorraine.
