Under the rule of Napoleon III France initially saw wide spread economic growth and improved foreign policy, gradually after 1859 business with Britain declined and failing business investment turned to a new constitution and France's defeat at the Battle of Sedan which led to uprising and the abdication of Napoleon III and the end of the Second Empire.
