Historical note	Alsace-Lorraine was created as a territorial entity by the German Empire as a result of the Franco-Prussian War (1871). Located in the Rhine Valley region of Eastern France, Alsace has a long history of changing hands between French and German control. The territory was reverted to France after World War I as a part of the Treaty of Versailles (1919). Nazi Germany annexed the region in 1940. France reasserted its authority in 1945. Today, the territory resides under French authority.
