But that was overthrown by Napoleon Bonaparte. He created the First French Empire 1804-14. the Second Republic was declared in 1848 which lasted until 1852 when the Second Empire was created under Napoleon III. He was forced to abdicate after France was defeated in the Franco-Prussian War 1870-1 when the Third Republic was established in 1870 which lasted until 1940 when France was invaded and occupied by Hitler's German forces. France was liberated by the allies in 1945. The Fourth French Republic was proclaimed in 1946 but ended in 1958 due to the Algerian war when a new Constitution was adopted in 1958 proclaiming the Fifth French Republic.
