As far back as the 18th century, France had the dominant culture and economy in Europe. If you were in any way educated, you spoke French--German was seen as a provincial, inferior language, even by native German speakers. The part of Germany west of the Rhine has always been culturally very close with France, in part because of geography, in part because the Roman Empire never managed to cross the Rhine.
