The biggest achievement of the Franco-Prussian war was German unification and the proclamation of the German Empire in the Mirror Hall at Versailles.

Prior to the war, Germany had existed as a number of kingdoms and city states after Napolenic France had brought about the end of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, which had existed for over 800 years, in 1806.

The kingdoms of Bavaria and Prussia had since fought to gain influence and power over the other German states, with neither really gaining the upper hand. As a result of the Franco- Prussian war and Prussias decisive victory over France, a new wave of national pride developed among Germans and the Prusssians seized upon this, proclaiming the German Empire, with the Prussian king as its Emperor
