Question: In which year did Newcastle United pay 15 million to transfer Alan Shearer to their club?

[Q]: Passage: The Treaty of Paris stood until 1871, when France was defeated by Prussia in the Franco-Prussian War of 18701871. While Prussia and several other German states united to form a powerful German Empire, the Emperor of the French, Napoleon III, was deposed to permit the formation of a Third French Republic. During his reign, Napoleon III, eager for the support of the United Kingdom, had opposed Russia over the Eastern Question. Russian interference in the Ottoman Empire, however, did not in any significant manner threaten the interests of France. Thus, France abandoned its opposition to Russia after the establishment of a republic. Encouraged by the decision of the French, and supported by the German minister Otto von Bismarck, Russia renounced the Black Sea clauses of the treaty agreed to in 1856. As the United Kingdom alone could not enforce the clauses, Russia once again established a fleet in the Black Sea. Question: Between what years did the Franco-Prussian War take place?
[A]: 18701871
