Germany.....?
I will tell you a little bit about what happened. At the end of WWI Germany was made to take blame for WWI. Pay reparations. Have their military cut down and weapons were non existent. This is why WWII happened the Allies disabled them so much they got angry and so the rise of Hitler.
Women had to tack on new roles to support there families. The war provided women to get in to the public sphere.
The Second Empire gave way to the Third Republic after France lost the Franco-Prussian War to Prussia.
Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte (nephew of the more famous Napoleon) had become president of France in 1848, and tried to return to the nostalgic glory days of France as an empire by having a referendum in 1852 to name him as emperor. But the Second Empire never was as powerful as its predecessor.
The Third Republic, which commenced in 1870, lasted until France fell to German invasion in World War II (in 1940).
