Sedantag was a semi-official memorial holiday in the German Empire celebrated on the second of September to commemorate Emperor Frederick III's victory in the Battle of Sedan. After the French emperor Napoleon III had declared the Franco-Prussian War a few weeks earlier, he and his army were taken prisoner in the fortress of Sedan by Prussian troops, a major step to eventual victory. In 1871, the now united Germans could hardly agree on a common German holiday, as most were related to the Prussian royal family.
