[edit] Who dunnit?

It is often reported that Bismarck orchestrated this war. If so, one should also note that it was rather easy to trigger French aggression. Rather than starting a war, France could have published its version about the incident, too, and gotten over it. After all, the possible threat of a Prussian King in Spain had been voluntarily removed by the Hohenzollern candidate, but the Prussian retreat was answered by a further, now real French attack. --Matthead 17:44, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alternate version

I included an alternate translation in the article's history (so you can compare the diffs). — Omegatron 00:11, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
