Sorry, that was my last note as the library was
closing down last night, I neglected to inc. this ...

The term "Paris Commune" (French: La Commune de Paris)
was the socialist government that briefly ruled Paris
from 18 March (more formally from 26 March) to 28 May
1871....

[...]

The Commune was the result of an uprising within Paris
after the Franco-Prussian War ended with French
defeat....
