Answer:
Alsace
Explanation:
Alsace is a region in north-eastern France that borders Switzerland and Germany. In fact, it is so close to Germany that you can travel by tram from the regional capital Strasbourg, to Kehl, the nearest German city, in just 15 minutes. Although Alsace is part of France, its borders have not always been clear.
Germany mainly wanted Alsace-Lorraine to act as a buffer zone in the event of any future wars with France. The area contains the Vosges Mountains, which would be much more defensible than the Rhine River if the French ever attempted to invade.
Both Alsace and part of Lorraine became German territory after the French defeat in the Franco-Prussian war in 1870. It would remain part of Germany until the end of the First World war when French troops entered the region and the territory reverted to France at the Treaty of Versailles.
