I want to know the answer to the following question:
What was the date of the first action of the Franco-Prussian War?
All the background I'm provided with is that "This battle saw the unsupported division of General Douay of I Corps, with some attached cavalry, which was posted to watch the border, attacked in overwhelming but uncoordinated fashion by the German 3rd Army.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
