Publisher's Synopsis
Alsace-Lorraine: Under German Rule (1917) is a historical book written by Charles Downer Hazen. The book provides a comprehensive account of the region of Alsace-Lorraine, which was annexed by Germany in 1871 after the Franco-Prussian War. Hazen explores the political, social, and cultural impact of German rule on the region, including the suppression of French language and culture, the imposition of German laws and institutions, and the resistance of the local population. The book also discusses the role of Alsace-Lorraine in the outbreak of World War I and the subsequent Allied victory, which led to the return of the region to France. Hazen draws on a wide range of sources, including official documents, personal accounts, and contemporary newspapers, to provide a detailed and engaging narrative of this important period in European history. Overall, Alsace-Lorraine: Under German Rule is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Germany, France, or Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
