Germany annexed Alsace-Lorraine after Prussia and the other states had defeated France in the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871). The area was now called: the Imperial Territory of Alsace-Lorraine (or: Reichsland Elsaß-Lothringen). The region under German rule saw many problems: there were issues over religion (Kulturkampf) and before WW1 there was the Zabern Incident (1913). When the First World War broke out vicious battles took place in the area. It was nicknamed 'Little Verdun'. Towards the end of the war there was the short-lived Alsace-Lorraine Soviet Republic which was taken down shortly after.
