They didn't fight their win in, and there was no battle for Paris. They just laid a siege, fired a few artillery barrages into the city and were allowed in by the French government, and pulled out according to the demand of the French. Then the commune took over when the city was to be disarmed, and it was the French who actually had to take the city by force.
Its not the same thing. The word I was captured. Its not the same as entered.
The French had to capture it.
May be semantics, but in a 1871 vs 1914 vs 1940 analysis its the meaning of events that count.
Except they did not capture the city. There was fighting in the city but at no point did they "capture it" Oh and yes the Germans captured the citiy just because there was no battle for it doesn't mean it wasn't captured. I mean for fucks sake the Germans held a fucking victory parade in the city!
