    Well France declared war, and regardless of what intrigues Bismarck set up to achieve this, they still fell for it and brought on themselves. What I resent is that France stayed bitter about the whole thing, despite the fact they had no legitimate claim whatsoever to Alsace-Lorraine when they first took it, and were also looking to seize territory in Luxembourg and Belgium at the time anyway.
