Alsace–Lorraine was a territory that Germany controlled from 1871 to 1918, acquired after defeating France in the Franco-Prussian War, and it is now part of France. The region's loss fueled French resentment that contributed to the outbreak of World War I, and France reclaimed it after Germany's defeat in 1918.

Alsace–Lorraine was annexed in practice by France at the war's end following Germany's defeat in 1918, but only formally ceded back in 1920 as part of the Treaty of Versailles.
Geographically, Alsace–Lorraine encompassed most of Alsace and the Moselle department of Lorraine; the Alsatian part lay in the Rhine Valley on the west bank of the Rhine, east of the Vosges Mountains, while the section initially in Lorraine was in the upper Moselle valley to the north of the Vosges. Politically, it was the only subdivision of the German Empire considered an "Imperial Territory"; as such, it was under the direct administration of the Imperial German state, rather than a quasi-sovereign constituent of the federal Empire. It was granted a legislature and limited internal autonomy in 1911.
