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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alsace-Lorraine Since 1870 At first sight it may seem that the author has pre sented the French point of view, pure and simple, since the bibliography appended contains a great many French titles, but it will be noted that the final sources are largely German, and that the effort has been made here to condemn the conquerors out of their own mouths. Many French books and articles have been used, chiefly for the quotations they furnish from newspaper and magazine articles unobtainable in America, in which Germans of consequence have expressed themselves with more freedom than in the formal propaganda liter ature sent abroad to prove by mere declaration, without demonstration, the attachment of the two provinces to their self-appointed fatherland.

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.

Download or read book History of Europe 1870 1919 Jovian Press written by Charles Hazen and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-30 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.

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 Alsace and Lorraine written by Ruth Putnam and published by Left of Brain Onboarding Pty Limited. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alsace-Lorraine was ceded by France to Germany in 1871 after the Franco-German war, then retroceded to France in 1919 after the First World War. It was again ceded to Germany in 1940 during the Second World War and finally retroceded to France in 1945. Today, Alsace-Lorraine is a 5,067 square mile territory in France. However, as you'll find out, it did not use to be so. Before the wars and the back-and-forth ownership between France and Germany, Alsace-Lorraine was Alsace and Lorraine, two distinct territories with different customs, resources and characteristics. Most documented histories of Alsace-Lorraine reach back, but not to the very beginning. Ruth Putnam's does. She gives an in-depth history of Alsace and Lorraine all the way back to the time of Caesar, 58BC capturing their identities, politics and customs before they became bounties of war. You are about to learn the true history of Alsace-Lorraine.
