Why did Prussia go to war with France in 1870? A. to gain a seaport on the Mediterranean B. to contain the French Empire C. to keep France from expanding its border into Prussian territory D. to gain control of the German-speaking provinces of Alsace and Lorraine I believe that the answer is either C. or D.
@confluxepic
@BlossomCake It says it all there.
It's D. right?
No.
No?
I think there was no german speaking provinces.

\(\huge\color{blue}{Welcome~To~OpenStudy!}\) I think its wrong. @Alsina24
Alsace and Lorraine were two mostly German-speaking provinces rich in coal and iron. That's what my History Book says.
World history 9th grade ? o:
I know but who started the fight.
France did.
World History - Grade 8
France started because Napoleon III fell into a trap.
What did you think it could be?
Fine. It could be D. But I thought it could also be something else.
I have to guide you to the answer.
Okay, then can you try to do so?
And one thing, I KNOW that the answer is NOT A.
ok so wat do u think @confluxepic ?
Well. France went to war with Prussia for glory and to conquer Prussia. I did not think that Prussia had any reason to go to war with France but now that I researched a bit more I decided that you are correct.
Really?! So, is our final answer D. ?
Yes.
Okay, thanks so much! I will let you know if the answer is correct or incorrect as soon as possible :)
You're welcome.
