Entry: The "Good War" and the Terrible Peace Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_good_war_and_the_terrible_peace#29557 Post contents: Bismarck rarely made blunders, and Teutonic stupidity sounds cheap. Alsace, or Elsass Lothringen had been German territory for centuries. A great majority of German speaking people lived in towns with German names which have not changed to this day. When Louis XIV decided to annex it, the Germans couldn't do anything about it. But after the 1870 war they could. Meaning, they simply took back what was theirs. Sent at: 2009 01 08
