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.
