PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
"Why did Napoleon declare war on Prussia in 1870?
The French emperor, Napoleon III, declared war on Prussia on July 19, 1870, because his military advisers told him that the French army could defeat Prussia and that such a victory would restore his declining popularity in France."
