Proclamation of the Republic at the Hôtel de Ville. Proclamation of the Republic in Paris on 4 September 1870, which in turn followed the surrender and capture of Emperor Napoleon III by the Prussians at the Battle of Sedan. During the Franco-Prussian War, the building played a key role in several political events. On 30 October 1870, revolutionaries broke into the building and captured some of the members of the Government of National Defence, while making repeated demands for the establishment of a communard government.
