Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1918, the end of the First World War triggered the return of Alsace and Lorraine to France after almost fifty years of annexation into the German Empire. Enthusiastic crowds in Paris and Alsace celebrated the return of the 'lost provinces,' but return proved far more difficult than expected. Over the following two decades, politicians, administrators, industrialists, cultural elites, and others grappled with the question of how to make the region French again. Differences of opinion emerged, and reintegration rapidly descended into a multi-faceted struggle as voices at the Parisian centre, the Alsatian periphery, and outside France's borders offered their views on how to introduce French institutions and systems into its lost borderland. Throughout these discussions, the border itself shaped the process of reintegration, by generating contact and tensions between populations on the two sides of the boundary line, and by shaping expectations of what it meant to be French and Alsatian. Borderland is the first comprehensive account of the return of Alsace to France which treats the border as a driver of change. It draws upon national, regional, and local archives to follow the difficult process of Alsace's reintegration into French society, culture, political and economic systems, and legislative and administrative institutions. It connects the microhistory of the region with the 'macro' levels of national policy, international relations, and transnational networks, and with the cross-border flows of ideas, goods, people, and cultural products that shaped daily life in Alsace as its population grappled with the meaning of return to France. In revealing the multiple voices who contributed to the region's reintegration, it underlines the ways in which regional populations and cross-border interactions have forged modern nations.

Download or read book Alsace and Lorraine from C sar to Kaiser 58 B C 1871 A D written by Ruth Putnam and published by Pantianos Classics. This book was released on 1915 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This superb history summarizes the major events and upheavals in the regions of Alsace and Lorraine, from ancient times to the late 19th century. Accompanied by maps and citing sources which date back through the ages, this history of the Alsace and Lorraine provinces is well-composed. At the time this account was published in 1914, the two regions had spent years in the geopolitical limelight; since parts of both were annexed by Germany in the 1870s, resentments had simmered in France about the annexation. As tensions rose in the years precluding World War One, the provinces became emblematic of rising discontentment between the European powers. Yet as Ruth Putnam demonstrates, the history of Alsace and Lorraine is long and storied, with the establishment of French and German cultural heritages in the regions a complex and nuanced matter. Their status was important as far back as Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul; noting the Germanic tribes nearby and their continuous migrations, the Roman leader had to consider them as he sought to establish Rome's presence. Further contest between various monarchs and regional rulers occurred through the medieval era and after the Renaissance.

Download or read book My Alsace written by Hansi and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alsace is a region in the east of modern-day France which changed hands four times between France and Germany in the 19th and 20th centuries. When Jean-Jacques Waltz ('Hansi') was born in 1873, it was two years since the Prussian army had marched into Alsace, and the province remained under German annexation until the end of the First World War.Hansi remembered his years at the German school in Colmar as among the worst of his life. Above all, he hated the history lessons in which the teacher forced the French pupils to learn about Prussian conquests and the defeat and humiliation of Alsace. Nothing was ever said about the glorious and happy past when Alsace was a free land, joined to the ancient region of Gaul with its Celtic races.In 1912, Hansi decided to write his own History of Alsace for children. He wanted to show them how much pride they could have in their past, and to hear the story from their own side. The first edition was published in Paris and was a great success, though as a result of its satirical gibes at all things German, Hansi was given a heavy fine and warning from the German authorities in Colmar. Soon afterwards he was given a year’s prison sentence for 'insulting the German officer corps'.The present book is a hand-picked selection from Hansi's L'Histoire d'Alsace and his L'Alsace Heureuse written in 1919 to celebrate the province's return to freedom. It is full of Hansi's trademark colourful and detailed pictures of Alsatian life, as well as his critical but humorous portrayal of the occupying Germans. The text is suitable for children from about eight years old, but will equally be appreciated by adults.
