Summary

Description
English: "The [Franco-Prussian] War: Defence of Paris-Students Going to Man the Barricades"
One of the iconic images of the Franco-Prussian War. After the surrender of Napoleon III, the French Republic refused the German settlement terms, and the war was forced to continue. Paris was besieged, and people of all walks of life entered into its defence.
Français : "Guerre de 1870: défense de Paris - Étudiants allant garnir les barricades"
L'une des images les plus iconiques de la guerre de 1870. Après la reddition de Napoléon III, la république refusa les termes du traité signé par l'empereur, et la guerre a continué. Paris assiégée par les Prussiens a été défendue par ses habitants de toutes origines sociales.
