The siege of Bitche was a battle during the Franco-Prussian War[11] initially caused by the German forces on August 8, 1870 to March 26, 1871, where the two nations would sign a armistice.[12] The siege was considered a brave siege[13] under the command of governor Louis-Casimir Teyssier,[9] and of the chief of the troops of the place: Geniès-Hippolyte Bousquet who both would be appointed lieutenant-colonels during the siege.
