Answer
Court-martial ended Bazaine's military career. He was accused of treason and surrendering Metz to the Prussians during the Franco-Prussian War. A military tribunal found him guilty and sentenced him to death, but the sentence was later commuted to 20 years in prison. Bazaine was released after serving only five years, and he lived out the rest of his life in exile.
