Description

The Emser Dispatch (German: Emser Depesche):

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ems_Disp…

triggered the war between France and the North German Confederation in 1870.
I made a small troll comic for this event^^ Napoleon III went to exile after the war
in Britain and sadly died 2 years later.

Why is it a trap at first? Well they wanted Prussia to deny forever any claims on the
spanish throne, if Wilhelm I had agreed, it would mean the french king stands above
the prussian king and can command him to do or not do sth.
Bismarck simply made the answer shorter than planned which was seen as a big
humiliation of France. Napoleon III declared war on the NGC and beside Austria
all german states joined the war and won the battle of Sedan, which was the
decisive battle in the franco-prussian war.

Before any british people are offended, I´ve been twice to England and you have
also great food, this is just a joke about your stereotype, take it easy^^

It did not help Napoleon III that for his neutrality in the Seven Weeks War he tried to get Bismarck's agreement that France could annex Luxembourg.  Bismarck never actually agreed to this, but published the diplomatic letters from the French Emperor so all Europe could see what a sneak Napoleon III was.
