text_original: This valorous declaration did not facilitate the conclusion of peace. The siege of Paris began on September 20th and, despite the desperate efforts of Gambetta to relieve it, the capital surrendered on January 28th, 1871. The Germans then granted an armistice to allow the election of a National Assembly which met at Bordeaux (Feb. 12th) and elected the veteran statesman, Thiers, head of the State.
