Alsace-Lorraine was an area of France that was very prized and valuable, but was taken by Prussia (later becoming a unified Germany) during the Franco-Prussian War. France and Germany were enemies from here on until the end of World War II, and the Franco-Prussian War sent France into isolation. France wanted to take back Alsace-Lorraine eventually, which led it to align with Russia after Germany's Three Emperors' League with Russia and Austria-Hungary failed. Eventually, the UK aligned with Russia and France forming the Triple Entente and Italy aligned with Germany and Austria-Hungary forming the Triple Alliance. All Great Powers were now involved in alliances and if a war broke out (which it did), this would cause the war to be extremely deadly.

What happened to Frances territory as a result of its defeat in the french war?

As a result of its defeat in the French War, France lost significant territories, including Alsace and Lorraine, which were ceded to Germany. This territorial loss was formalized in the Treaty of Frankfurt in 1871, following the Franco-Prussian War. The defeat not only diminished France's geographic influence but also fostered a sense of national humiliation and contributed to rising tensions that would later play a role in World War I.
