Lorraine (province)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-22) Lorraine became part of France in 1766 and was reorganized by the French government. A part of Lorraine, along with Alsace, was reunited with Germany after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 causing a number of French people to emigrate into France, and a part of Lorraine remained a part of Germany until the end of World War I, when Germany had to cede it to France. Lorraine was combined with the Saarland, and Alsace with Baden. www.pillscatalog.net /Lorraine_%28province%29.html   (829 words)

Lorraine. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 Bar and Lorraine were reunited when Lorraine passed by marriage to René of Anjou, duke of Bar; the three bishoprics were finally annexed by France in 1552. By an arrangement (1735) with Louis XV, he exchanged the duchies of Lorraine and Bar for Tuscany; Lorraine and Bar were given to Louis XV’s father-in-law, Stanislaus I, ex-king of Poland, upon whose death (1766) they passed to France. In 1871, as a result of the Franco-Prussian War, the eastern part of Lorraine was ceded to Germany and united with Alsace as the imperial land (Reichsland) of Alsace-Lorraine. www.bartleby.com /65/lo/Lorraine.html   (599 words)

Lorraine (Traditional province, France) Lorraine was inhabited by two Celtic tribes called Mediomatriques and Leuques, with their capital city in Metz and Toul, respectively. The naval and ariborne forces which had rallied de Gaulle were asked to use the cross of Lorraine as their emblem.
