The war had a lasting impact on Europe. By hastening [[Unification of Germany|German unification]], the war significantly altered the balance of power on the continent, with the new German state supplanting France as the dominant European land power. Bismarck maintained great authority in international affairs for two decades, developing a reputation for ''[[Realpolitik]]'' that raised Germany's global stature and influence. In France, it brought a final end to imperial rule and began the first lasting republican government. Resentment over the French government's handling of the war and its aftermath triggered the [[Paris Commune]], a revolutionary uprising which seized and held power for two months before its suppression; the event would influence the politics and policies of the [[French Third Republic|Third Republic]]. | The war had a lasting impact on Europe.
