Description
The image reproduces the illustration from the 1904 elementary school course, with a few modifications: the title "La Défense nationale" is new, the first version simply gave "Guerre de 1870-1871". Alsace and Lorraine were not hatched as disputed territory, nor was German territory shaded as enemy territory. Gambetta did not appear in a medallion above all the others. To Bourbaki's left, however, was Mac-Mahon, the first president of the Third Republic.
