French Infantry Soldier (Franco-Prussian War)

Experience the history of the Franco-Prussian War in a unique way with our specially designed LEGO minifigure of a French infantry soldier! This war, which raged from July 19, 1870, to January 28, 1871, was a pivotal moment in European history. The conflict arose from the French desire to reassert their dominant position on the continent, especially after Prussia's impressive victory over Austria in 1866. Under the leadership of Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, who, according to some historians, deliberately provoked the French into war, the North German Confederation mobilized its troops far more effectively than France. This led to a series of decisive victories, including the Siege of Metz and the Battle of Sedan, which ultimately resulted in the capture of French Emperor Napoleon III and the fall of Paris. Our United Bricks minifigure pays tribute to the brave soldiers of this era and offers a creative way to learn more about this historic event. This minifigure features a fully printed 360-degree design on the torso and legs, and a detailed printed head. Perfect as a gift or to add to your collection, it's a great way to bring history to life through building and creating. This minifigure is made from 100% LEGO pieces and has been customized by United Bricks. You are purchasing only the minifigure and not any other LEGO items shown.
