The approximate number of communards that were killed in the short lived Paris Commune of 1871 were 30,000. The French army also suffered casualties as well. Their losses were approximately 7,500 soldiers.
The Paris Commune was recognized as a socialist movement. It was officially called a revolutionary and socialistic government. It ruled the city of Paris from March 18 to May 28, 1871.
It was the revolt of the population of Paris against Napoleon III's surrender to Prussia in 1871. After the subsequent establishment of the so-called Third Republic of France, the Commune's mostly socialist and anarchist-inspired leaders refused to abide by the terms of the peace treaty concluded between the Republic's Government and Prussia and surrender power back to the French republican authorities. Because of that, the Commune became a revolt against the French Republic itself. Without Napoleon III's earlier total overhaul of Paris - replacing a giant maze of narrow and winding streets with broad boulevards - the French army might have had a near-impossible job reconquering Paris. As it was, it still took over a month for the French army to regain control of the city.
Karl Marx, in his important pamphlet The Civil War in France (1871), written during the Commune, praised the Commune's achievements, and described it as the prototype for a revolutionary government of the future, "the form at last discovered" for the emancipation of the proletariat.

Begun in March, 1871 following France's capitulation in the Franco-Prussian War, the Paris Commune was a social movement led by anarchists, Marxists, and others dissatisfied with their status under the French government. They were determined to institute self-rule for the city, and many resident soldiers sided with the Commune and its constituent groups. Among their goals were: -- separation of Church and state -- military pensions for families of deceased French militiamen -- an end to all-night work schedules -- equal wages and legal status for women
