Synopsis

Insightful history of a pivotal European question and the people caught in the middle.

This work examines the rise of Alsace-Lorraine's identity under shifting loyalties and rule. It contrasts French and German visions, tracks irredentist movements, and analyzes how politics, culture, and language shaped a century of conflict and longing. The book blends narrative detail with critical analysis to show why the question persists as a headline issue in European politics.

Readers will gain a clear sense of the pressures that moved populations, officials, and nations, and how ideas about rights, nation, and governance evolved through war and occupation.

• Explains how local identity persisted despite annexation and central rule.


• Shows the role of refugees, language, and culture in sustaining national loyalties.


• contrasts German imperial policy with Alsatian and Lorraine responses.


• Traces the origins and impact of irredentist movements across decades.

Ideal for readers of 20th-century European politics, national identity, and modern history.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
