Prince Hohenlohe could not hold out against the attacks of the combined Particularists, Catholics, and Austriacanti in the Bavarian Parliament, and had to resign (March 7, 1870). He now resumed his seat in the Munich House of Peers, and in a few months, on France threatening war, made him- self conspicuous by insisting upon the x)articii)ation of Bavaria in the great national feud. Upon the suc- cessful termination of the war in 1871, he was elected member of the first German Parliament, and, in recognition of his patriotic deserts, immediately became Vice-President thereof. In May, 1874, after the deplorable exit of Count Harry Amim, Prince Hohenlohe was chosen German Ambassador at Paris. He was one of the German plenipotentiaries at the Congress of Berlin in 1878. In August of that year he was re-elected to the Roichatag, on the second ballot, at Forchheim, Kulmbach, Bavaria, polling 9,800 votes, while his Catho- lic competitor had 8,G00.
