==History==

===Initial opposition===
In the winter of 1871, the Government of National Defense signed an armistic with the Prussians, who was victorious in the war, and their leader Kaiser [[Wilhelm I, German Emperor|Wilhelm I]] started their new {{Wiki|German Republic}} taking lands of France as his own. In response, the government disbanded and the Third French Republic was the officially successor of the Second French Empire. However, most of the government officials maintained a monarchist stance and as a result, another [[Committee of Public Safety]] was initiated to respond such debates. As a response, another [[Paris Commune (1871)|Paris Commune]] was initiated, but it was short-lived and the republic survived their national crisis.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Resurrection Plot'' – Chapter 20</ref>
