What were the primary causes that led to the outbreak of the World War 1?
The Germans were still angry that the French beat them in the 1870s war, and intended to take over France by war, or at least, the Alsace-Lorraine, which France had previously taken from Germany. Sorry about the run-on sentence . . .
How did Alsace Lorraine play a part in World War 1?
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.

All of these factors led to an economic crisis in Germany which led the people to become desperate for change and elect Adolf Hitler to power.
What is the significance of the Franco-Prussian War and how it caused hostility between France and the newly unified Germany?
The Franco-Prussian war was one of the key events in the unification of Germany, which was not a single country until 1871. The new German nation had the most powerful army in Europe, and the Franco-Prussian war demonstrated that the German government (which was essentially Prussian) was perfectly willing to commit naked aggression. Naturally, this generated great concern in France. This fear led France to cultivate new alliances, even one with its traditional enemy, Britain. France's alliances with Russia and Britain in turn led Germany to fear "encirclement"--a fear which helped give rise to World War I. Germany also took possession of the French border regions Alsace and Lorraine (now usually referred to as Alsace-Lorraine). In fact, during the first weeks of World War I the French staged a major offensive to recapture the region. They thought this would cause the Germans to abandon their offensive through Belgium, but the Germans managed to repel the French attack without diverting any forces from western France. The Versailles Treaty returned the area to Germany. Germany retook it in 1940 and lost it again in 1945. ____ There was no 'naked aggression'. Prussia provoked France into declaring war ... The key significance in the longer term, in addition to accelarating German unification was that the peace treaty was far, far too harsh and turned France into a long-term enemy, hoping for revenge. In addition to the loss of Alsace-Lorraine, Prussia imposed heavy reparations on France. It paved the way for World War 1 and the Treaty of Versailles.
