ICM 35061 French-Prussian War, 1870-1871 French line infantry

The French army, on the eve of the clash with Prussia and their German allies, was on the one hand famous for victories during the Crimean War (1853-1856) and the war with Austria of 1859, and on the other hand - it underwent profound reforms that were initiated at the end of 1866. , thus shortly after Austria's defeat in the war with Prussia. The reforms were primarily aimed at increasing the mobilization capacity of the state, which - as it was assumed - in 1875 was to be able to field about 800,000 people. At the same time, the infantry units were rearmed with the new Chassepot Mle 1866 rifles with great range. By 1870, as many as 1.2 million of these successful rifles had been produced. Attempts were made to put more emphasis in infantry training on shooting skills than, for example, on drill. However, when the war with Prussia began in 1870, many of these reforms had not yet been completed, and the French infantry - although well trained, well-armed and often fighting with great dedication - was giving way to the Prussian infantry in terms of tactics and command. This was indirectly proved by the Battle of Sedan in 1870.
