Background
Blanc was exiled to Britain after the Revolution of 1848. As far back as 1839, Louis Blanc had vehemently opposed the idea of a Napoleonic restoration, predicting that it would be despotism without glory, the Empire without the Emperor. He therefore remained in exile until the fall of the Second Empire in September 1870, after which he returned to Paris and served as a private in the National Guard.
