4. In chapter one, Old Major's also teaches the animals a song called "Beasts of England." The song is a parody of "The Internationale," a popular Communist protest song. It was first written as the anthem of the Paris Commune, a revolutionary group that briefly tried to take over Paris and establish a communist government. This happened in 1871 after France's loss to Prussia in the Franco-Prussian War, which was under the leadership of Otto Von Bismarck.
