I've been wondering about the effects that the removal of Napolean III and the creation of the French Third Republic had on France as a whole. Could any of you tell me which form of government would have benefited France the most in the form of strengthening its economy, military, and well being of its citizens and why? Also if you choose Republic please explain if you think that the Third Republic of OTL was the best or if a different form would have been better.
Edit:
I forgot to mention the Paris commune in my poll. True the commune of OTL wasn't a cohesive thing but if it had formed a succesfull communist or socialist government in France how would that have compared. Also how could these forms of government have managed the French colonies differently to France's benefit?
