I don't get it. Germany ignored Bismarck's opinion on AL and they couldn'teven bother to treat Alsacians like proper Germans.

Germans don't have their own rightful borders.
Alsace-Lorraine was formerly owed by Lothringen, and therefore at its dissolution, both West Francia and East Francia could contend for its ownership.
Germans are butthurt that the french did so at the peace of Westphalia.

Anyways,
>"It has been suggested that Charles' nickname was used ironically and not descriptively; i.e. that he was not in fact bald, but rather that he was extremely hairy.[6] An alternative or additional interpretation is based on Charles' initial lack of a regnum. "Bald" would in this case be a tongue-in-cheek reference to his landlessness, at an age where his brothers already had been sub-kings for some years.[7]
>Contemporary depictions of his person, e.g. in his Bible of 845, on his seal of 847 (as king) as well as on his seal of 875 (as emperor) show him with a full head of hair, as does the equestrian statuette (c. 870) thought to depict him."
