WHAT DOES ALSACE-LORRAINE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Alsace-Lorraine

Alsace-Lorraine

The Imperial Territory of Alsace-Lorraine, was a territory created by the German Empire in 1871 after it annexed most of Alsace and the Moselle department of Lorraine following its victory in the Franco-Prussian War. The Alsatian part lay in the Rhine Valley on the west bank of the Rhine River and east of the Vosges Mountains. The Lorraine section was in the upper Moselle valley to the north of the Vosges. The Imperial territory of Alsace-Lorraine was made up of 93% of Alsace and 26% of Lorraine. For historical reasons, specific legal dispositions are still applied in the territory in form of a local law. In relation to its special legal status, since its reversion to France following World War I, the territory has been referred to administratively as Alsace-Moselle.
