Alsace-Lorraine: A Study in Conquest is a historical book written by David Starr Jordan in 1913 and published in 1916. The book focuses on the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine by Germany in 1871, following the Franco-Prussian War. Jordan examines the political, social, and economic factors that led to the annexation and the subsequent impact on the region and its people. He also explores the cultural and linguistic differences between the Alsatians and the Germans, and how these differences contributed to the tensions that led to the annexation. Jordan's analysis is based on extensive research and includes primary sources such as official documents, letters, and personal accounts. The book provides a comprehensive and insightful look at one of the most significant events in European history and its lasting effects on the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
