Answer:
Alphonse Daudet (1840-1897) was a French writer. This story takes place in Alsace, a region of France that borders Germany. In 1870, France lost a war with Prussia, a region in northern Europe that included part of Germany. After this war, France had to give Prussia some mainly German-speaking regions previously under French control. These were the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. Today, the overall culture of Alsace is generally more German than French. In this story, a young Alsatian boy is met with a surprising announcement when he arrives at his French class.
