Bismarck, already convinced that war with France was both necessary and desirable, and assured by Von Moltke that the army was perfectly prepared, now did a dehberate act which was like a red rag waved before an already irritated bull. He gave to the newspapers a dispatch touching the French demands, which implied that a studied insult had been intended by the king to Napoleon and his ambassador.^ This was July 14, 1870. In Paris, where matters were already tense, the council of imperial minist...ers resolved on immediate war. It was declared on July 19. 295. The Franco-Prussian War (1870-71). It is impossible to acquit Napoleon III and his ministers either of extreme knavery or extreme folly. It is not quite certain whether they knew that France was utterly unprepared for war, or whether they beheved that she had a genuine chance to conquer. In the former case, they were reckless, treasonable adventurers who wrecked their country by taking gamblers' chances with her very life as the stake; in the latter case, they were living in a fool's paradise, when it was their ordinary duty to have learned the bitter truth.- ^ It is difficult to commend Bismarck's morality in this action.
