He was against annexing both Alsace and Lorraine. They both were forged into the french identity during and after the révolution

Op, read Fustel de Coulanges. Greatest historian of his Century.

annexed by france, liberated by germany, annexed again, annexed again

it's a border region, those that remember being from the last master care, those that are young grow up under the new, the cycle is finished now I suppose, the french have well stamped it out

The first Reichstag delegates from Alsace-Lorraine protested against the annexation and demanded a referendum. Later on, outspoken opposition to German rule decreased, however, autonomism was strong in the province; in fact, autonomism was still a big factor in the interwar period.
