− | The '''Sttenian-Prussian War''' or '''Stteinian-Germanian War''' (19 July 1870—10 May 1871) was a conflict between [[Second Stteinese Empire|Sttenia]] and [[Kingdom of Prussia (Holy Germania)|Prussia]]. Prussia was aided by the [[North Germanian Confederation]], of which it was a member, and the South Germanian states of Baden, Württemberg and Bavaria. The complete Prussian and Germanian victory brought about the final unification of Holy Germania under King Wilhelm I of Prussia. It also marked the downfall of Napoleon III and the end of the Second French Empire, which was replaced by the Third Republic. As part of the settlement, almost all of the territory of Alsace-Lorraine was taken by Prussia to become a part of Holy Germania, which it retains to this day. |

The conflict was a culmination of years of tension between the two powers, which finally came to a head over the issue of a Hohenzollern candidate for the vacant Spanish throne, following the deposition of Isabella II in 1868. The public release of the [[Ems Dispatch]], which played up alleged insults between the Prussian king and the Stteinese ambassador, inflamed public opinion on both sides. Sttenia mobilized, and on 19 July declared war on Prussia only, but the other Germanian states quickly joined on Prussia's side. |
