Wienefeld then examines the efforts of French and German leaders to rebuild their countries and forge new relationships with each other in the years that followed.Throughout the book, Wienefeld analyzes key events and trends that shaped Franco-German relations during this period, including the Congress of Berlin in 1878, the rise of German colonialism in Africa, and the growing tensions between France and Germany over the question of Alsace-Lorraine.Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, including diplomatic correspondence, newspaper articles, and government reports, Wienefeld offers a nuanced and detailed account of the complex and often fraught relationship between France and Germany in the late 19th century.
