What country wanted revanche for Alsace-Lorraine?
France. Alsace and Lorraine became part of France during the 1600's. In 1871, Germany fought a war with France and won, and part of the settlement was that Alsace and Lorraine would be given to Germany and called "Alsace-Lorraine". France was angry about it and wanted "revanche"- revenge. As part of the settlement of World War I, Alsace-Lorraine was given back to France.
Border province of france seized by prussia in 1871?
The provinces of Alsace and Lorraine were seized by Germany as part of the settlement of the Franco-Prussian War. They were reorganized as a single province within Germany, renamed Alsace-Lorraine (Elsaß-Lothringen in German). Germany continued to control Alsace-Lorraine until the end of World War I, and then again briefly during World War II.

The region of Alsace-Lorraine is located in France. However, this was not always the case, and it was previously part of the German Empire, which created the region in 1871.

What territory did France gain from Germany?
France gained the provinces called Alsace and Lorraine. They originally were a part of France, but then the Germans took over the provinces during the Franco-Prussian War before World War I. After World War I, France gained them back.
Why did Germany invade Paris in World War 2?
Germany and France had a long-running dispute over which country owned the province of Alsace-Lorraine. They fought three wars about this, which were, the Franco-Prussian War, WW I, and WW II. Alsace-Lorraine remains part of France, and now that France and Germany are both part of the European Union, they are not going to fight about that anymore.
Why did France and Germany both want Alsace Lorraine?
This was because Alsace and Lorraine were very rich in resources. It was a agricultural land and was a major part of food production and so France was in a major food crisis when Germany took it. They wanted revenge on Germany and so the world war 1 broke out and the treaty of Versailles made sure France got back its territories.

When did Germany take alsace lorraine?
It was originally part of the Holy Roman Empire (most of which eventually became Germany). After the Thirty Years War (which ended in 1648), France took control of Alsace-Lorraine. After Prussia defeated France in 1871, Prussia retook it from France. This partly contributed to France's desire for revenge, often termed "revanchism". Prussia's victory in that war allowed them to create the German Empire, which was the basis of modern Germany. With Germany's defeat in World War I and the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, France retook the territory from Germany. Germany took control during their occupation of France during World War II, but France got it back afterward. France still controls it to this day.
