Alsace
France had to give Germany its rich mining area, Alsace and Lorraine.
France did regain the eastern regions of Alsace and Lorraine, which it had lost in the 1870 war against Prussia.
The madeleine is a traditional small cake from Commercy and Liverdun, two communes of the Lorraine region in northeastern France.
The area of Buhl-Lorraine is 11.2 square kilometers.
The area of Lorraine - region - is 23,547 square kilometers.
During World War I, yet for many years before and even well after, a significant piece of territory disputed between France and Germany was the Alsace-Lorraine region. Located on the far western border of Germany (or, on the far eastern border of France) just to the north of Switzerland, Alsace-Lorraine exchanged owners numerous times in preceding centuries as a result of claims to ownership by these two countries.
The area of Bisten-en-Lorraine is 4,480,000.0 square meters.
The area of dispute between France and Germany which France lost in the Franco-Prussian War and wanted to get back is called Alsace-Lorraine, regained by France in WWI. It is the birthplace of Joan of Arc. They also wanted to control more overseas colonies, and the parts of France that Germany occupied in the early weeks of the "Battle of France."
The area that France and Germany fought for in the battle of Verdun were the eastern regions of Lorraine and Alsace; these regions were in between Germany and the French capital Paris.
France.
Alsace-Lorraine was an area of France that was very prized and valuable, but was taken by Prussia (later becoming a unified Germany) during the Franco-Prussian War. France and Germany were enemies from here on until the end of World War II, and the Franco-Prussian War sent France into isolation. France wanted to take back Alsace-Lorraine eventually, which led it to align with Russia after Germany's Three Emperors' League with Russia and Austria-Hungary failed. Eventually, the UK aligned with Russia and France forming the Triple Entente and Italy aligned with Germany and Austria-Hungary forming the Triple Alliance. All Great Powers were now involved in alliances and if a war broke out (which it did), this would cause the war to be extremely deadly.
Germany annexed the previously-independent countries of Baden, Bavaria, Württemberg, and Hesse-Darmstadt. Germany also annexed the French territories of Alsace and Lorraine which Germany renamed as Elsaß-Lothringen.
