Tips
Memorial to those who died in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71.
This conflict was the birth of the German Empire, which was symbolically proclaimed in 1871 in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. With the founding of the empire, the old dream of a unified nation state came true for many; it permanently changed the balance of power on the European continent.translated by
