Part of the Franco-Prussian War, the Battle of Sedan took place in early September 1870. It was a decisive battle of that conflict. The History Guy remembers the surrender of an Emperor, which brought down one empire and gave rise to another.
The episode discusses events and shows some artwork and photographs depicting a period of war, which some viewers may find disturbing. All events are described for educational purposes and are presented in historical context.
The History Guy uses images that are in the Public Domain. As photographs of actual events are often not available, I will sometimes use photographs of similar events or objects for illustration.
