Main events of the Paris uprising on March 18, 1871.

The uprising began in several districts of Paris, but very soon it engulfed the entire city, which forced the Thiers government to leave the city and move to Versailles. Following this, in some other cities, such as Leon, Toulouse, Marseille, communes were also proclaimed, but they did not last long, only a few days. Already on March 26, elections to the Council of the Commune were held, and after 2 days the first meeting was held. Already in April, troops under the command of Thiers marched on Paris. After about a month of advancement, on May 21st, the street fighting for Paris began. The commune troops fought for a week, but in the end they were defeated. The Paris commune ceased to exist after 72 days.
