  • Es sollte wieder Deutsch werden.

  • More Notes on the translation:

    The comment uploaded by the original poster of this video says "eleven days of independance and direct democracy in Alsace-Lorraine repressed by the French Army."

    Oscar Wilde once said that "the best part of France is the part that isn't French." He was referring to Alsace-Lorraine.

  • Notes on the translation:

    The revolution that led to the Kaiser's abdication occured in 1918, not 1917.

    Today, Alsace-Lorraine is more than five times larger than Luxemburg and more than four times as populous. It has a strong, industrialized economy. It would be a very viable independant state.

  • Translation part three:

    112,000 Alsatians were expelled, the newspapers and the Alsatian language were prohibited in the schools and in public services.

  • Translation part two:

    It instituted equally a political system of innovative direct democracy.

    At that moment (November 10 1918), no French soldiers were present on Alsatian soil.

    Clemenceau then demanded that his troops use force to invade Alsace and repress the revolution.

    That lasted all of eleven days.

    Following the taking of control, the French government put in place a policy of ethnic cleansing. Based on four letters: A,B,C adn D according to the level of Frenchification.

  • For those who would like an English translation of this video, here it is (it will take more than one post):

    In 1917 Germany recognized a revolution that overthrew the empire.  It had to put an end to the war in progress.

    In Alsace-Lorraine independance was proclaimed on November 10 in Strasbourg.

    It was hoped by the international community to assure a line of neutral states between France and Germany (Belgium, Luxemburg, Alsace-Lorraine and Switzerland).
