What country ruled the French-speaking provinces of Alsace and Lorraine prior to World War 1?
Alsace and Lorraine were under German control from 1871-1919 as the provinces of Elsaß-Lothringen. These two territories had been French border territories for some time and the local language was Alsatian, which is a dialect of German with many French loanwords. At that time French was a secondary language for most people in Alsace-Lorraine, so to call them "French-speaking" is somewhat disingenuous.

What was the relation between Germany and France before World War 1?
Relations between the two countries had been very bad indeed since the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. The terms imposed on France at the end of the war were harsh. Most of Alsace and Lorraine was annexed by Germany despite the fact that the inhabitants regarded themselves as French. In addition, France had to pay very high reparations. In France many wanted revenge. In the 1890s Bismarck said that the peace treaty he had imposed on France in 1871 had been a blunder as it had created a 'permanent enemy' of Germany.
