Summary: "The Franco-German War of 1870-71" by Graf von Helmuth Moltke is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book provides a detailed examination of the events, strategies, and implications of the war between France and Germany, focusing particularly on the military operations and decisions made during the conflict. It is likely to attract readers interested in military history, strategy, and the factors leading to the emergence of Germany as a unified state. At the start of the text, the author shares insights into the evolving nature of warfare, emphasizing the shift from traditional conflicts fought by small, professional armies to large-scale wars involving entire nations. The narrative sets the stage for the war's outbreak, indicating that the dynamics of national ambitions and public sentiment played significant roles in igniting hostilities. It touches on the pre-war preparations of both the French and German armies, highlighting the logistical challenges faced by France as it mobilized its forces, leading to the initial skirmishes at Weissenburg and Wörth as German troops moved into action. This introduction serves to contextualize the war's military engagements and the subsequent battles that defined the conflict's course. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
