What is a 1766 Franco-Prussian War bayonet worth?
The Franco-Prussian War was from 1870-1871, so nobody would be using a weapon from 1766 in the Franco-Prussian War. Without better information (including which side used the weapon - French or Germans), it would be impossible to speculate.
If the term "1766" is a specific model number, I am aware of no gun that has that number.

What were three objectives that caused Bismarck to go to war three times?
1 -The annexation of the Danish Duchies of Schleswig, Holstein und Lauenburg.
2 -The Prussian supremacy in Germany and the elimination of Austrian influence over the German States.
3 - The downsizing of France as the only European power able to contrast the setting up of a united German Nation, under Prussian leadership, taking advantage from the military and political decline of the Second Empire.
This goal could have achieved only by provoking France to declare war on the German Confederation, the only means which would made important German States, like Bavaria and Baden-
Württenberg somewhat "lukewarm" towards a Prussian egenomy, to take side with the "assailed fellow countrymen".
How did the Franco-Prussian War change the balance of power in Europe?
The Napoleonic Wars ended in 1815 with a peace settlement orchestrated by the brilliant Austrian foreign minister, Metternich. The peace settlement was known as "the Concert of Vienna" and kept the peace in Europe for the next 99 years with the exception of the Franco-Prussian War. The Concert of Vienna adjusted affairs in Europe so that each nation felt its national interests were protected, and, most importantly, maintained a delicate balance of power between European nations.
However, in 1815 Germany did not exist. There were dozens of "Germanic States", some very small, a few fairly large, where Germany is today. When Germany was created by uniting all these "Germanic States" into one single nation under the plans of the Prussian minister Bismarck, this was the appearance of a new, large nation in central Europe, which was not planned for nor accommodated under the Vienna peace plan of fifty years before. The very existence of a united Germany upset the delicate balance of power of the Concert of Vienna which had kept the peace for those fifty years. Alarmed at the appearance of a powerful new united neighbor on her border, France immediately picked a fight with the newly united Germany, started a war, and promptly lost it. This proved that not only was there a united Germany here to stay, but that Germany was a powerful nation capable of easily handling France, which had been considered one of the world's great powers. This made the arrangements of the Concert of Vienna out of date, and nations began making alliances with one another, to increase their feelings of security about what might happen if a large war came. It was these alliances which caused many European nations to be pulled into war in 1914, when the nations they were allied with went to war.
Why was the Franco Prussian war was important to Germany?

What country ruled the French-speaking provinces of Alsace and Lorraine prior to World War 1?
Alsace and Lorraine were under German control from 1871-1919 as the provinces of Elsaß-Lothringen. These two territories had been French border territories for some time and the local language was Alsatian, which is a dialect of German with many French loanwords. At that time French was a secondary language for most people in Alsace-Lorraine, so to call them "French-speaking" is somewhat disingenuous.

Type your answer here... No. The 2003 invasion of Iraq was done without international (UN) approval), using fabricated reasons for justification (there were no WMD) and was used for American corporate profit. These facts render "Operation Iraqi Freedom" an aggressive conquest. It came at a terrible civilian cost and turned the world's opinion against America. The ongoing failure to bring peace and democracy (as was promised) undermines the USA's credibility around the world, and alienates us from our former allies. While the war profited companies and individuals close to the Bush administration, it has brought death to inocent people, and weakness to a once glorious America. The war is unprovoked, unjust and unwinnable.

War by its very nature has a victor. The winning side does everything to subdue and control the defeated nation. War is not a game where the rules of sportsmanship apply. To control any nation the most fundamental area of its sovreignity, its people are attacked. The culture of a people is its strongest point and if that can be influenced the nation loses its identity which is its true freedom. Language is an important element and that is the one of the initial targets of the Prussians. They begin by changing the official language from French to German. Language brings with it the entire body of literature and thought. These influence the learner deeply in the formative stage and that is the purpose of the victors. Once a language assumes official status it becomes the language of the state. It becomes powerful and the regional language loses its status and stature in day to day work. The Prussians automatically become superior because they have the mastery over the official language and all the important work. War by its very nature has a victor.

"Cold War" is more a political condition than any kind of a land war.
How did Prussia defeated Austrian in Austrio-Prussian war?
Prussia defeated Austria in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 primarily through superior military organization and technology, particularly the use of the needle gun, which provided a significant advantage in firepower. The Prussian military employed efficient mobilization and effective use of railways to rapidly deploy troops. Key battles, such as the decisive engagement at Königgrätz, showcased Prussia's tactical superiority and better coordination among its forces. The war concluded with the Treaty of Prague, resulting in the exclusion of Austria from German affairs and the establishment of the North German Confederation under Prussian leadership.
