	The '''Second French Empire''' was the imperial regime of [[France]] that ~~took place~~ between the {{Wiki\|French Second Republic}} and the [[Third French Republic]]. Withstanding for eighteen years, the ~~Second French Empire~~ had its capital [[Paris]] surrounded and temporarily taken over by the [[Prussia]]ns during the [[Franco-Prussian War]]. This led ~~for Emperor~~ Napoleon to ~~fall and lose~~ his ~~rulership and thus~~ the ~~dissolvement~~ of ~~his~~ empire.		The '''Second French Empire''' was the imperial regime of [[France]] that existed between the {{Wiki\|French Second Republic}} and the [[Third French Republic]], and a spiritual successor to [[Napoleon Bonaparte]]'s [[French Empire\|First French Empire]].

			Withstanding for eighteen years, the empire had its capital of [[Paris]] surrounded and temporarily taken over by the [[Prussia]]ns during the [[Franco-Prussian War]]. This led [[Napoleon III]] to abdicate his throne, marking the end of the empire.

Eventually, on 2 December 1852, the Second French Empire was proclaimed, with Louis-Napoleon becoming Emperor Napoleon III.<ref name="WP">{{WP\|Second French Empire}}</ref>

	In 1853, Napoleon III sent a warship to push [[Ottoman Empire\|Ottoman]] Sultan [[Abdülmecid I]] to acknowledge French Catholicism as the official religion over the Holy Land's [[Christianity\|Christian]] sites.
