Prior to World War 1, Alsace was part of the German Empire. The Treaty of Versailes reverts Alsace back under France's control in June of 1919.
France was in a fight with Italy between Alsace and Lorraine. This dispute was territorial. Italy wanted to claim Alsace and Lorraine as theirs and yet France would not allow it.
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.
