we anchored there...spoke to elisa young decendant from the midshipman .....said to her '''where do you come from ?''....her reply '' I com from my mother ''....just a boring little , but true story ...

Not the Alsace I lived in. Almost completely French speaking. German use was largely taboo after the abuses and shame of the Third Reich.

Charlemagne's three grandsons divvied up his empire. What are now France and Germany grew out of the western and eastern thirds. The middle third included the Low Countries and Burgundy. France and Germany, long bitter enemies, are cousins who had a falling out. For an interesting historical vignette, watch the World War One movie The Blue Max, and look closely at the image of the medal in the opening credits. This German military decoration bears the French-language legend "Pour Le Merite."

It's not the history that changable. It's the relationship. Invest in learning englishes.

ELSASSIANS are generally moderately to strongly germanophobic, contacts are low. They say "we are in France". Lost forvever for German nation.. Period. Germany, Italy, France, UK,Sweden, Spain will not exist in 2 generations. Game over. Elsass-Lothringen is let's say 5 % german. Time to open new chapter.

Spam trash

As a Frence, not very German at all. Most young people don't speak German.

A few years back the British removed all the children and any women who wanted to leave the island because of pedophilia

Is this channel funded by Putin? It seems to be trying to revive past disagreements and promote a climate of distrust between European countries. There is another video about a "secret plan" by Poland.

My Father's side of the family came from this area

I think this is a broad misrepresentation of a vibrant community... ilcheck about the violent history and day to day actuality of your owne city before looking at Pitcairn and has pedophilia it s a crime no doubt...but this a +/- white community living in the harsh conditions of isolated south Pacific islander... Fiji, Vanuatu, other for pure biological reason women have their first pregnancy between 14 and 16... on the other hand men must have established themselves as capable of sustaing thrir family before getting inolved in a relationship...thus they are older... same prevail in rural communities in south east Asia, Africa and elsewhere....unacceptable for western society like UK, France, Belgium, Germany, Sweden...unless You are muslims and in that case eldery men forcefully marrying 14 years old girls... in European big cities...is a fact simply ignored... but when I came to Pitcairn....

They’re bilingual… French and German ( German dialect = ELSACE GERMAN ) ,

The Sun King acted like nothing else than a reprehensible neighbor taking advantage of an ailing neighbor and thieving his front lawn. The world looks the other way.

Get Elon to provide internet!

I hate these AI channels

Somethings like town names are mostly German, lots of tall, blonde, blue eyed people around, but the music, food, and language is all French. That's what I noticed when I visited Strasbourg many years ago, anyway...

Now that France and Germany are in the European Union, what role does it play if Alsace or Mosel belong to one or the other country? No role at all. Then, why not hand over those regions to Germany, where they belong culturally? Today, they are subject in France to specific regulations inherited from the German Empire, one more sign that those regions are not historically French, even if the French authorities managed to successfully replace the original population with imported groups.

still, this area belongs to Germany, no, I am not german

Historic note: The Romans called what is now France, "Gallia"; the Franks called it "Gaul" but it was pronounced "wall". It cognates with the place names Wales, Cornwall, and Wallonia. It is an old Germanic word that basically means foreigners. So the French took their names from the Franks, but the Franks themselves called the French foreigners.

I have often wondered how German and/or French the provinces were. Like, if they had a plebiscite, who would have won.

Even though today the majority of the population feels French after centurys of aculturation, the fact is that they are ethnic Germans. Alsace Lorraine has always been a German region where Germans lived. The French took advantage of a Germany divided into small states and imposed their force to annex the territory. Most of the inhabitants' family surnames are German. The French did the same when they stole Corsica from the Italians, which is an ethnically Italian region where Italian is spoken.

Croyez moi , j'habite en Alsace Et aucun alsacien ne sent allemand et ne veut être attaché à l'Allemagne . Les alsaciens se sentent pleinement français et veulent être attachés à la France définitivement .

Almost all France have been conquered by Germanic tribes, the name France itself come from the franks. So French people are just Germans that speaks Latin.

Alsace and a part of Moselle did not speak French, like Brittany, Roussillon, Basque region, Lille region, Nice region, Corsica and a good half of south of France. So what? Still, they feel and are French since ages in fact. That is the way it is, through wars or politics. Who cares now. If people don't want to speak Alsacian, Breton, Catalan, Basque, Flemish, Occitan or Corsican, it is their choice (but yes, French language has killed these regional tongues). The number one problem in France today (and Europe) is Islam which is an ideology, not a religion. So please folks, stop your blahblah on these are Celts, or these are Germanic, or these are what God knows and see and fight the real danger !

For centuries? Mate that would have been the Spanish mate 😊

One of Peugeots most important factories is in this area, the germanic influence did wonders to the otherwise lousy manufacturing quality

Jewish people had historical times in East and North Africa since biblical, it would be great to unite again as Jewish descendants since Solomon, we are always brothers and will be forever 😉, they would have bigger land than they have now... Exodus 😊

This territory belongs to France, because it was historically part of Gaul, not Germania. When Louis XIV annexed it, he recovered it and extended his kingdom to its natural border, the Rhine.

We are not in 1870, we are not in 1914 and even less in 1939. It’s time to realize this so please stop with the historically absurd and even racists comments.

Selber schuld, dass die Elsässer ihre Identität aufgegeben haben, um 200%ige Franzosen zu werden. Gerade diese Konformität ist eben typisch deutsch😂 Ich habe mit vielen echten Franzosen über das Elsass gesprochen. Sie lachen nur über die Elsässer und sehen diese, trotz ihrer Anbiederung, nicht als Landsleute an😂

Even the Dalai Lama himself said that Tibet is a part of India. The only ones crying are americans and indians who worship white men.

Beautiful part of France.. should be independent

This report is absolute stupidity. Go find some real job ....

Why not question America invaded by Europe. America belongs to Native Indigenous until Europe invaded. 😂😂😂

Plz fight for Tibetan cause. We Tibetans need your support. If you believe in Truth and justice then please stand for us. Free Tibet!!!

LMAO. Your sources must be Bollywood movies. Xi-Zang and Nan-Zang are both part of China.

It is only in a federation that one state can secede from e.g. Texas from the USA. China is not a federation and therefore Tibet cannot secede from it. The same applies to Taiwan. You have made a video based on ignorance. Please keep to subjects you understand!

Tibet wants to secede? But native Hawaiians themselves in Hawaii say they want Hawaii back. And bet native tribes in the americas want theit stolen lands back too. How about some support for them too?

Interesting video, but next time please use a human narrator instead of computer-generated voice.

Umandati is a combination of the letters from each country, and has a catchier and less drawn out mouthful like East African federation

Incredible! I didn't know that history has always been 'changeable'. 🤣

Nice joke, tibet cannot function without china.

Construction 🏗️ bridge and tunnel road 🛣️ ❤😊😊🌹👍

One thing Alsacians hate……..is to be taken for Germans Go to Strasbourg on a week end and you ll near scores of Germans enjoying a bit of Frenchness that is not too far from home for comfort 😊 The food is very different and has a definite French touch ….by that I mean….more elaborate than the German cuisine that can be a bit rough around the edges But the Germans brought some valuable things during it 40 years occupation…….like the first Medicare ever existing in Europe, social housing . When it comes to social security, the rules in Alsace are different from the rest of the country

Alsace-Lorraine is actually not an acurate name. You would call this area Alsace-Moselle. Or Elsass-Moselland in German. Lorraine is much bigger than this.

En tant qu'Alsacien, je peux vous dire que plus personne dans la région ne veut retourner à l'Allemagne. C'est une histoire ancienne, maintenant. Tous les Alsaciens se sentent Français, exceptés quelques groupuscules autonomistes folkloriques, qui font 0,1% des voix aux élections locales. l'Alsace-Moselle est définitivement française. 1:28

Permanent peace? Yeah, right! Wait till the EU falls apart.

Nie, to jest AI Ale dość fajne

Im a Kosovar!

0:08 The two states settled their differences. NO, they didn't. This land is state property of Germany and with or without force the Germans will take back what is rightfully theirs. France will pay dearly for the deliberate looting of German parts of the country.
