Everybody knows about the squabble of Alsace-Lorraine and how it led to french revanchism, which led to the creation of the system of alliances that led to WWI.
So, i have a question: what's the best PoD for the german government to decide against annexing the region after defeating France in the franco-prussian war?
I hear that Otto Von Bismarck was opposed to the annexation as it would lead to France becoming an unforgiving enemy of Germany, and, to be fair, he was right.
