Émile Ollivier ministry

The Émile Ollivier ministry was the penultimate government of the Second French Empire. Led by Émile Ollivier, a republican opponent of the Empire, it was initially composed of moderate bonapartists and orléanists. However following the constitutional referendum on 8 May[1] liberal members of the cabinet resigned and were replaced with politicians of a more authoritarian type.[2][3] It lasted from 2 January 1870 until 10 August 1870, on the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, when it was replaced by the Cousin-Montauban ministry.[4]

She looked up, meeting eye contact for a second before looking back at the floor. “Do you know where we are?” She shook her head, still fiddling with her hands. “What’s your name?” Why do they not know where they are? Phones have GPS.
