Abstract

Alsace-Lorraine has long been a bone of contention. In the numerous conflicts of the contending parties, the lands and possessions of these unhappy provinces were repeatedly subjected to destruction or pillage, and the pop-to all the violence of warfare, with the inevitable result that the social intellectual, and the industrial development of the country, rich as it is in natural resources and favored in its geographical position and configuration has been seriously hampered. With such salient features and barriers as the Rhine on the one hand and the Vosges Mountains on the other, the Alsace-Lorraine territory has constituted a border country separating ever hostile and seemingly incompatible peoples; and its extent and boundaries have frequently changed with the vicissitudes of war and the succession of its rulers.
