Alsace-Lorraine, France



 



Tree: Eby/Aebi and Bernethy Family
Notes: Alsace-Lorraine (German: Reichsland Elsaß-Lothringen, generally Elsass-Lothringen) was a territorial entity created by the German Empire in 1871 after the annexation of most of Alsace and parts of Lorraine in the Franco-Prussian War. The Alsatian part lay in the Rhine Valley on the west bank of the Rhine River and on the east of the Vosges Mountains. The Lorraine section was in the upper Moselle valley to the north of the Vosges Mountains.

The region became part of Eastern Francia in 921 during the reign of King Louis the German, later becoming part of the Holy Roman Empire. It was gradually annexed by the Kingdom of France after the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. After the Franco-Prussian War, the Treaty of Frankfurt returned the area to German control as part of the newly-created German Empire in 1871.

A short-lived independence after World War I was ended by French troops in 1918 and the Treaty of Versailles of 1919, and the territory reverted to France. The area was annexed by Nazi Germany in 1940, but reverted to French control in 1945 at the end of World War II and has remained a part of France since.

The territory was made up of 93% of Alsace (7% remained French) and 26% of Lorraine (74% remained French). For historical reasons, specific legal dispositions are still applied in the territory, properly and legally now known as Alsace-Moselle.
