Hey Guys,
I'm curious, in France after the Franco-Prussian War there was a communist takeover of Paris for a short time - as well as in a few other towns and cities in France. These communes failed rather rapidly and so the Communist takeover of France never occured.
However, what would it take for a Communist revolt to occur nationwide? Could it have potentially succeeded? If so how would nations around France have reacted to a 'Second French Revolution', especially Germany and Britain?
