Alsace-Lorraine

From Turtledove

Alsace-Lorraine 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.

During the Great War the Germans mounted an attack from Alsace-Lorraine into eastern France, where they won the Battle of Verdun.

In 1941, France demanded the return of the territory. When Kaiser Wilhelm III refused the ultimatum, the Second Great War began. Early on in the war France managed to over-run the province, but failed to cross the Rhine River. The Germans have began the liberation of Alsace-Lorraine in conjunction with the liberation of the Holland and Belgium.
