Economic Reintegration
View through CrossRef
This chapter traces the economic reintegration of Alsace. Upon the region’s return to French rule, the primary priority was recovery from the devastation of the First World War, and the realignment of the Alsatian economy towards French structures and institutions. While some sectors of the economy achieved successes in their efforts to produce goods suitable for French markets, these remained in their early stages when the global economic depression hit the recovered departments in the 1930s and triggered unemployment and protest. Throughout, economic developments were shaped by the border and were inseparable from social relations. This chapter considers this history and is suggestive of the ways in which a change of national regime and fluctuations in the global economic and political situation affected the Alsatian economy.
