What country ruled the French-speaking provinces of Alsace and Lorraine prior to World War 1?
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.
