* When the Prussian army is seen invading France, their military uniforms are dark green. Prussian military uniforms in the 1870s were actually dark blue. Oddly enough, the anime got the French military uniforms down correctly.

* No, Thiers did not order an invasion of Paris.[[note]]This misconception may have stemmed from the fact that Thiers was once protested and rioted against because he abolished the fédéré, depriving many families of their main source of income, sparking riots across the country[[/note]]

* When the Prussian army is seen invading France, their military uniforms are dark green. Prussian military uniforms in the 1870s were actually dark blue. Oddly enough, the anime got the French military uniforms down correctly.
* The Prussian flag is [[https://ibb.co/3k4xZ4h depicted]] as blue and red. In real life, it looked like [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c1/Flag_of_the_Kingdom_of_Prussia_%281803-1892%29.svg this]]
*The anime's repeated insistence that the Prussians have a rule not to shoot women or children, which is blatantly untrue.
!France
* The French flag is depicted as the modern-day tricolore flag, but since the anime is set in 1870, it should have been [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_French_flags#/media/File:Imperial_Standard_of_Napol%C3%A9on_III.svg this]].
*Apart from correctly noting the date when it occured (May 21, 1871), the depiction of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semaine_sanglante Semaine sanglante]] has many historical inaccuracies.
**Andréa claims that the French army do not take prisoners and kill indiscriminately, but in RealLife, 43,522 Communards were taken prisoner, including 1,054 women, though most were sentenced to death, hard labour and deportation.
**The soldiers are depicted as blindly following orders, when in RealLife many of them switched sides and refused to open fire on civilians.
**The leader of the Paris Commune was Louis Charles Delescluze, not Jules Francoeur.
!Real life people
* Adolphe Thiers and Léon Gambetta were indeed real people, but the anime depicts them as arch-enemies with Thierry as a sociopathic RichBitch and Gambetta as the Bourgeoisie government's TokenGoodTeammate, when in real life the two were friends-turned-political-opponents.
* The anime takes the HistoricalVillainUpgrade to the extreme with Thiers, [[spoiler: having him dry the French capital of wealth and diginity for his own purposes, and flee to Prussia when he receives backlash for his unpopular decisions.]]
* Thiers in RealLife opposed the French war with Prussia, knowing that a conflict with Bismarck's forces was too dangerous. In the anime, he agrees to the Prussians invading the country in exchange for protecting his wealth.
* Léon Gambetta in RealLife was a lawyer and Republican statesman, but in the anime, he is a General.
* No, Thiers did not personally plot the death of [[spoiler: Léon Gambetta]] in RealLife.
* No, Thiers did not sabotage France during the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Villiers Battle of Champigny]].
* No, Thiers did not flee France in March 1871 because of his unpopular decisions.[[note]]Want to know [[{{Irony}} who]] ''did'' flee France during March 1871, though? [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A9on_Gambetta#Self-exile_to_San_Sebasti%C3%A1n Gambetta!]][[/note]]
* No, Thiers was not a wealthy landowner, he was the bastard child of a government official and became a SelfMadeMan through journalism. He did become wealthy later in life though.
*No, Thiers did not order an invasion of Paris.[[note]]This misconception may have stemmed from the fact that Thiers was once protested and rioted against because he abolished the fédéré, depriving many families of their main source of income, sparking riots across the country[[/note]]
*No, Thiers never said that the Parisians weren't the true French, and that the true French were the citizens of Versailles.
* [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking No, Thiers wasn't green]].
