What if Prussia's leadership (specifically Bismarck, King/Kaiser Wilhelm I, and Moltke the Elder) would have decided that making a permanent enemy out of France isn't a good idea and would have thus allowed France to keep Alsace-Lorraine in 1871 on the condition that it be permanently demilitarized (so that Germany can have extra security). In compensation for allowing France to keep Alsace-Lorraine (albeit in a permanent demilitarized state), Prussia's leadership insists that France transfer either most or all of its colonies as well as Algeria (which was officially a part of France) to Prussia. Afterwards, France reluctantly agrees to all of the Prussian peace terms due to its extremely strong desire to keep Alsace-Lorraine.
Anyway, what exactly happens afterwards?
