>Repeated French efforts to annex the left bank of the Rhine started with the devastating wars of King Louis XIV. French forces were carrying out massive scorched earth campaigns in the German south-west. These politics were fully implemented during the Napoleonic Wars and the creation of the Confederation of the Rhine in 1806–1813. In the two centuries from the Thirty Years' War to the final defeat of Napoleon, the German inhabitants of lands by the Rhine suffered from repeated French invasions.
>The demise of Napoleon gave the Germans some respite, but during the Rhine Crisis of 1840, French prime minister Adolphe Thiers advanced the claim that the Upper and Middle Rhine River should serve as his country's "natural eastern border". The member states of the German Confederation feared that France was resuming these designs.

Why does the Eternal Gaul lust after the Rhine so much, to the point of causing world wars for it?

To restore the limes as is the sacred duty of the restored Western Roman Emperor Charlemagne and his successors.

Because they wanted easy to defend natural borders, since they could never get the west bank of the lower Rhein, they had to settle with creating buffer states.

To think, France could've just done it and annexed the whole thing immediately after WWI and ensured the prosperity of Europe for decades to come but they let the eternal Kraut rise again instead.
Foch was right. Leaving Germany with industrial capability at all was a recipe for disaster.
