Description:Excerpt from An Ambassador of the Vanquished: Viscount Elie De Gontaut-Biron's Mission to Berlin, 1871-1877 Viscount Elie (Elias) de Gontaut-Biron represented France at Berlin in the capacity of ambassador from December 4, 1871, till the last days of 1877. At the time that mission was confided to him, part of the Treaty of Peace concluded with Germany in consequence of our disasters was already being carried out. Two out of the five milliards of the war indemnity stipulated for by Clause 2 of that Treaty were on the eve of being paid, by means of a loan subscribed with marvellous rapidity by the resources of the country in the way of savings and national energy. But three more remained to be paid, and six French departments were to be held in pledge by the troops of the victor until the whole should have been settled. Moreover, the new limits of our territory, so sadly mutilated, were not exactly defined. In other words, nothing was finally concluded, and the possibility of new conflicts, or rather of fresh misfortunes, had by no means vanished from the horizon.
