H. C. Wright is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the complex political and social landscape of France following the Franco-Prussian War, detailing the establishment and evolution of the Third Republic. It covers significant events, key figures, and the changing dynamics of French governance, providing insight into the issues of nationalism, imperialism, and internal strife that shaped the era. The opening of the text sets the stage for the rise of the Third Republic by discussing the political failures of both Emperor Napoleon III and German statesman Otto von Bismarck, whose ambitions culminated in the outbreak of conflict. It elaborates on the causes leading to the Franco-Prussian War and the subsequent downfall of the imperial regime, highlighting the incompetence and miscalculations of French leaders. Through a detailed examination of events such as the ill-fated candidacy of Prince Leopold to the Spanish throne, the opening chapter illustrates the growing tensions that ultimately gave rise to a republic after disastrous military defeats and the upheaval of governance in France.
