What did Francisco Franco have to do with Appeasement before the second world war?
Francisco Franco, the leader of Spain during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), was indirectly related to the policy of appeasement as his regime received significant support from Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. This support was part of a broader strategy by these powers to expand their influence in Europe and undermine democratic governments, which aligned with the appeasement policies of Western democracies towards fascist aggression. Franco’s victory in the civil war further emboldened fascist regimes and highlighted the failures of appeasement, as it demonstrated the consequences of allowing authoritarian regimes to expand unchecked. After the war, Franco's Spain remained neutral, but his ideological alignment with Axis powers reflected the underlying tensions and conflicts of the appeasement era.

What countries were involved in the Franco-Prussian War?
When the Franco-Prussian War began, "Germany" did not exist. What is now Germany was at that time a bunch of small countries. Since 1867, the northern half of Germany had been joined into the "North German Confederation" (NGC). This basically forced everyone into a single country ruled by Prussia- although Prussia already controlled most of the territory of the NGC anyway.
The North German Confederation and Prussia were the major players in the war. Other German countries sided with the NGC as well- Bavaria, Baden, Wuerttemberg, and Hesse.
After Prussia won the war, those four allies joined with the NGC and merged together into a single country. This was the German Empire, and the King of Prussia became its first "Kaiser" (emperor). The German Empire was set up sort of like the United States- all these small countries became "states" within the Empire, each with their own government below the "federal" government of the Kaiser. The Kaiser continued to be the King of Prussia, and, for example, Bavaria still had its own king.

France threatened war against Prussia, who backed down, but Bismarck published the threat in newspapers to gather German patriotism and support. France declared war in response.

Why was the outcome of the Franco-Prussian war important to Germany?
It was important, because Prussia(Germany) took French lands, and made the French determined to get revenge, leading to their big demands during World War I.
This war was oddly started, because Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck changed a letter the Kaiser was giving to a French ambassador he couldn't meet with to make it look insulting, and then France went to war with Germany over a letter!
It was important also for following reasons:
- It led to the creation of the German Empire, under the leadership of King of Prussia who became Emperor which means the union of all the more or less little German States in a united great State. That was the realization of the Chancellor Otto von Bismarck's political project on which he had worked for about twenty years.
That achievement wouldn't have been possible without the annihilation of the Austrian Empire's influence in Germany, reached in the 1866 and that, although temporary, of lowering France as Great European Power, reached in the 1870, both by means of a war.
- The start of the economic and political "rivalry" soon spreading also outside Europe, between Germany and Great Britain which was then one of the grounds of the WW1.
- The war lead Northern Germany and Southern Germany to join together into one nation. The war also made Alsace-Lorraine to be part of Germany. Germany also and occupation army in Paris until France paid up 5 billion francs in war indemnity
