Which statement about the Franco-Prussian War is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Prussia's victory opened the way for the German Empire
The governing concept is the final military stage of German unification. The Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71 brought the southern German states into cooperation with Prussia against France. Prussia’s victory strengthened German unity and enabled the proclamation of the German Empire at Versailles in 1871. It was not a war between Italy and Russia, and Prussia neither disappeared nor suffered a weakening of unification. Therefore, option B is correct.
