Alsace-Lorraine: A Study In Conquest, 1913 (1916) is a historical book written by David Starr Jordan. The book is an in-depth study of the region of Alsace-Lorraine, which was annexed by the German Empire in 1871 after the Franco-Prussian War. Jordan examines the historical, cultural, and political factors that led to the annexation, as well as the impact it had on the people of the region.The book begins by providing a brief history of the region, including its long-standing ties to France and the cultural and linguistic differences between the Alsatians and the Germans. Jordan then delves into the events leading up to the annexation, including the Franco-Prussian War and the Treaty of Frankfurt, which ceded Alsace-Lorraine to Germany.Jordan also explores the impact of the annexation on the people of Alsace-Lorraine, including the suppression of the French language and culture, the imposition of German laws and customs, and the forced conscription of Alsatians into the German army. He also examines the resistance movements that emerged in the region, including the formation of the Alsatian League and the role of key figures such as Charles Spindler and Eugene Ricklin.Overall, Alsace-Lorraine: A Study In Conquest, 1913 (1916) is a comprehensive and insightful examination of a pivotal moment in European history, shedding light on the complex cultural and political dynamics that shaped the region and its people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
