520 _a"Alsace-Lorraine: a study of the relations of the two provinces to France and to Germany and a presentation of the just claims of their people" by Daniel Blumenthal is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically during the tumultuous years surrounding World War I. The book explores the complex relationship between the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine and their historical ties to France and Germany, focusing on the injustices faced by the people of these regions since their annexation by Germany in 1871. It emphasizes the longing of the Alsatian and Lorraine populations to reunite with France, reflecting broader themes of national identity and sovereignty. Blumenthal, an Alsatian politician and advocate for his people's rights, meticulously outlines the historical context of the annexation, including the Treaty of Frankfort and the socio-political dynamics within Alsace-Lorraine under German rule. He presents the struggles of the local population, who maintained a strong affinity for France despite German attempts at assimilation. Through a combination of personal testimony and historical evidence, Blumenthal argues passionately for the return of Alsace-Lorraine to France, characterizing the loss as a deep injustice that needs rectification. The book serves as both a manifesto for the rights of the Alsace-Lorrainers and a call to action for international support in their quest for self-determination.
