After the defeat of Sedan, the Republic is scheduled Sept. 4, 1870. Despite efforts by the interim government while the north of France is occupied, Paris, surrounded, under siege for five months.
The French must capitulate: they must cede Alsace, a part of Lorraine and pay a heavy indemnity. Parisians refuse accepted defeat by the new government installed at Versailles. They organize the defense of Paris by building barricades. They appoint a municipal government, the Commune, which passes laws and reforms well ahead of its time: the freedom of the press, secular education for girls and boys ...
In March 1871, Thiers, head of Government decides to take the capital by force. A massacre of the French opposed to other French. The repression against the Communists is terrible: 25,000 victims, 50,000 were deported to New Caledonia or Algeria. The order takes precedence over ideas social.
Week bloody
