Answer 2

During the climactic battle of the Franco-Prussian War, the French Emperor, Napoleon III, was personally captured along with some of his high ranking staff. When news got to Paris, his government was almost immediately overthrown, and he went into exile in Britain. The Third Republic was formed. However, the war with Prussia did not end immediately, and the powerful Prussian army besieged Paris.

The siege was notable because a Communist-inspired government took control of Paris. The Paris Commune was run by socialists and anarchist, and served as an inspiration for Karl Marx as he wrote the books that would form the basis of modern Communist philosophy. However, the Commune was eventually crushed by the Republic's armies, and lots of Communards were killed, including many leaders.
