===Franco-Prussian War=== The unexpected [[Franco-Prussian War|victory of Prussia over France]] (19 July 1870{{snd}}10 May 1871) demonstrated the superiority of [[Breech-loading weapon|breech-loaded]] steel cannon over [[Muzzleloader|muzzle-loaded]] brass. Krupp artillery was a significant factor at the battles of [[Battle of Wissembourg (1870)|Wissembourg]] and [[Battle of Gravelotte|Gravelotte]], and was used during the siege of Paris. Krupp's [[Anti-aircraft warfare#Earliest use|anti-balloon guns]] were the first [[Anti-aircraft warfare|anti-aircraft]] guns. Prussia fortified the major North German ports with batteries that could hit French ships from a distance of {{cvt|4000|yards|km mi}}, inhibiting invasion.
