The Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71 introduced new military
technologies, transformed the organization of armies, and upset the
continental balance of power, promulgating new regimented ideas of
nationhood and conflict resolution more widely. However, the mass
armies that became a new standard required mass mobilization and
the arming of working people, who exercised a new power through
both a German social democracy and popular insurgent French
movements. As in the Russian Revolution of 1917, the Paris Commune
of 1871 grew directly from the discontent among radicalized
soldiers and civilians pressed into armed service on behalf of
institutions they learned to mistrust. If this militarized class
conflict, the brutality of the Commune's subsequent repression not
only butchered the tens of thousands of Parisians but slaughtered
an old utopian faith that appeals to reason and morality could
resolve social tensions. War among nations became linked to
revolution and revolution to armed struggle.
