Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book, originally published in 1919 as the First World War drew to a close tackles the question of Alsace-Lorraine, one of the chief causes of the war and the most important obstacles to peace. Cerf addressed the book to Americans in order to present facts which would "confirm the belief that peace can be restored to Europe and the world only after the return of the lost provinces to France". A compelling read that is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of the amateur and professional historian alike.

CHAPTER VII THE ECONOMIC QUESTION THE LORRAINE IRON The Rheinisch-W estfalische Zeitung said after the beginning of the present war: "Bismarck was actuated solely by strategic reasons when he annexed AlsaceLorraine. But the country had a considerable economic value. 1) We have at Pechelbronn, in Alsace, the only important oil-well in all Germany. ... 2) In Upper-Alsace there are rich potash deposits. If this region belonged to France, the German potash monopoly, which renders all foreign lands, especially North America, tributary to our country, would be lost. . . 3) . . . Terror strikes us when we think what would have happened to us in the present war if we had not had the Lorraine iron fields in our possession. . . ." Wetterle, L'Alsace-Lorraine doit . . ., p. 170. ) Of the production of iron ore within the district covered by the Zollverein (Germany and Luxembourg) in 1913, which amounted to almost 36,000,000 tons, 21,100,000 came from Lorraine and 7,300,000 from Luxembourg. The Rheinisch-W estfalische Zeitung may well shudder with terror at the thought of what would have happened to Germany in the present war but for the iron lands she seized fifty years ago in Lorraine, a country as French as Gascony, a country which had been thor i The slag, a by-product of the Lorraine iron industry, is valuable as fertilizer. In 1914, America imported 74,588 tons of it, valued at $20 a ton. (S. Brooks, in North American Review, November, 1917, p. 698.) oughly French as far back as history carries us. Germany, however, never would have engaged in this war but for her gains in the war of 1870; it would have been utterly impossible for her to plan and execute the attack of 1914 but for her possession of the Lorraine iron.

This book was released on 2017-04-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE year 1870 will long remain memorable in the annals of Europe. For in that year occurred a great and decisive war whose outcome was destined to exercise a large and profound influence upon the history of the subsequent period; whose consequences were to prove pervasive, far-reaching and unhappy, just as the four terrible years through which the world has recently passed will inevitably determine the future of the world for many decades to come. There was a certain tragic unity to that intervening period between the Franco-Prussian War and the World War, the shadow of the former, the dread of the latter hovering over the minds of men, full of menace, inspiring a recurrent sense of uneasiness and alarm. All the various streams of activity, all the different movements, national and international, social and economic, intellectual and spiritual, all the complex and diverse phenomena of the life of Europe during that crowded half-century took their form and color largely from the memory of war, the fear of war, the preparation for war. A period like that is surely worth studying. Indeed only if men acquire or possess a just understanding of it, only if they retain a vivid sense of its lessons and its warnings, will they be able to avert a repetition of its horrors, only thus will they have the aid of either chart or compass on their voyage into the future. But apart from this general feeling of insecurity and apprehension, inspired by the Franco-Prussian War, that war had several immediate and specific consequences which must inevitably render the year 1870 notable in the history of modern times and which furnish a proper starting-point for this narrative. The war of 1870 completed the unification of Germany and created the German Empire. It completed, also, the unification of Italy, by giving to the kingdom, as its capital, the incomparable city of Rome. It overthrew the Second Empire in France and produced the Third Republic. It robbed France of Alsace-Lorraine for the benefit of Germany and thus embedded militarism in the life of Europe...
