The Franco-Prussian War (July 19, 1870 - May 10, 1871) was a war between France and Prussia, with Prussia being supported by the North German Confederation and the South German states. The war resulted in the unification of the German Empire, the diminishment of French influence throughout Europe, and the territory of Alsace-Lorraine becoming part of the newly formed German Empire.
