S2 E16: The Franco Prussian War: The First Step To World War 1

Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast where we explore the darkest parts of human history. hope everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always. Welcome to the new episode, The Franco-Prussian War, The battlefield of the Franco-Prussian War was a harrowing and haunting landscape, marked by the devastation and brutality of 19th-century warfare. Stretching across northeastern France, particularly around areas like Sedan and Metz, this war zone bore witness to a clash of two formidable European powers in the summer and autumn of 1870. The War was a clash of industrialized warfare meets 19th-century military tactics. It was a place where the old world of cavalry charges and colorful uniforms met the new world of rapid-firing rifles and artillery, leaving behind a life scarred by death, destruction, and despair. 

       Now this war is quite obscure nowadays, but I'm not bringing this to your attention to be some sort of hipster, oh no, my dear listeners, this war should be known far and wide not lost to the pages of time. You see this war would create scars, wounds and grudges that would fester until the world was set on a path to the war to end all wars and have massive ramifications for the Second World War. So without further ado please sit back and relax next to the fire for more dark history
