France forges toward Septennate amid grand review
The great military review in Paris drew 50,000 soldiers past the President and Assembly as MacMahon asserts the Octennial authority. The National Assembly rejected a Casimir Périer plan to organize the Republic and a Septennate scheme, while Concha falls at Bilbao and Zabala takes command in Spain. Plimsoll faces a government division on ship safety measures and education policy debates continue with the Birmingham Scriptural Education Union.
