What led to the end of Napoleon III's reign?

Answer 1

Each of the wars during the Napoleonic period was ended in some treaty or other, but the last war, the Hundred Days, ended with the Treaty of Paris. Napoleon was exiled to St. Helena, where stayed until he died.

Answer 2

Napoleon III's foreign policy led to the end of his reign, as opposed to his domestic projects like his economic expansion, industrialization, public works, and support of the arts.

Specifically, Napoleon III's choice to give in to German taunts and get involved in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871 was what ended his reign. Early in the war, he and his army were captured in the Battle of Sedan. Napoleon III became a prisoner of war and the Third French Republic was declared in his absence.

Answer 5

The Second French empire was the direct result of 1848 revolution. The result of that revolution was the end of the French government led by Louis Philippe. In its place was the Second French republic led by Louis Napoleon, Napoleon Bonaparte's nephew.

Louis Napoleon gained much public support with his reforms, so much popularity that he ended the second French republic in 1852 and proclaimed the new Second French Empire.

Louis Napoleon was now Napoleon III, and his programs of reform continued. Much of the reforms were only on paper, however, and he began to create a less democratic regime with his secret police and state controlled elections.

Napoleon III sought to diffuse public discontent by playing up to the public's nationalism. He expanded the French colonial system and even went to the extent of creating a puppet state in Mexico.

The French control of Mexico did not sit well with the foreign policies of the United States. After the US Civil War, parked troops on the US - Mexico border and forced France to end its ambitions in Mexico. This helped Napoleon III to lose support among the expansionist, nationalist groups with whom he enjoyed support. He had damaged France's international reputation. It was soon to get worse.

Within Europe, Prussian military power was growing. Napoleon III opposed Bismarck's German unification plans. In 1870, the Franco - Prussian War was overwhelmed by Bismarck's forces. Napoleon III was actually taken as a prisoner.

In the wake of this disaster, French republicans declared the end of the Second French Empire.
