How come we get 50 choices for Miss America and only 2 for President

Today marks the end of the Franco-Prussian War (1871)
although I read that the French capital was besieged on September 19th, falling to the Prussians on January 28, 1871.
In honor, the above poster is from a "scandalous" movie. In occupied France during the Franco-Prussian War, a young French laundress shares a coach ride with several of her condescending "social superiors." But when a Prussian officer holds the coach over, social standings are leveled and integrity and spirit are put to the test. Censorship worries changed Elizabeth from a prostitute into a laundress and changed the Prussian officers demand to sleep with her into a demand to have a private dinner with her. Isn't that just like men. Sex and Laundry. Bring on the beer wench!

The "Hero" is also a bit of a dandy. Oh yes. "Mademoiselle Fifi" (the title) is actually the solder! His comrades had given him that nickname "on account of his dandified style and small waist, which looked as if he wore stays"
You really can't wonder where they came up with that idea.

The Franco-Prussian war triggered a five year smallpox epidemic throughout Europe that claimed 500,000 lives.
The French army lost nearly as many men to smallpox alone as the German army lost to all causes in the entire war. The German army required vaccination of all troops and revaccination every seven years. The French army was militarily unprepared for war, but smallpox could only have made matters worse.

That's really all I know.
I only had a passing interest when, years ago, I had a roommate who claimed Prussian heritage. But she was a total flake.
