3. Napoleon III declared war on Prussia not the other way around.

So no really good reasons for Churchill on those accounts.

Like I said, Churchill isn't my area so I'd be grateful if could you point me in the direction of a book/source or two where I can read up about his attitudes towards the Germans and help expand my knowledge. Thanks.
