Conclusion

View through CrossRef
In 1918 Alsace was restored to French rule after almost fifty years of annexation into the German Empire. Its return was greeted with enthusiasm in Alsace and across France, but reintegration proved much more difficult than expected. This concluding chapter traces how the return of Alsace to France was shaped by the border, and suggests that consideration of the border as a driver of change encourages us to avoid a binary view of Alsace as either French or German or falling between two nations. Instead, a focus on the border encourages the consideration of Alsace as a dynamic force and draws our attention to the multiple languages that the population adopted to describe return. It underlines that reintegration proved a multi-cornered struggle and reveals that nations are not formed in isolation, but rather through interactions involving actors at the centre, at the periphery, and beyond the national boundaries.
