Alsace Celebrate Department Fete Return Years
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the jubilant scenes of the people of Alsace celebrating the return of their town to French rule in 1920. After more than 40 years of German occupation, the department of Alsace-Lorraine was officially reintegrated into France following the Treaty of Versailles, marking the end of a tumultuous century-long saga of territorial shifts between France and Germany. In this image, the townspeople of Fete, Alsace, come together to express their relief, joy, and pride in their newfound French identity. The men wear traditional Breton berets and waistcoats, while the women don elegant dresses and parasols. Children run through the streets, waving French flags and playing games, as the community comes together to celebrate their social and cultural rebirth. The scene exudes a sense of unity, hope, and renewal, as the people of Alsace look forward to a brighter future in the 20th century.
