The
Treaty of Frankfurt was signed in Frankfurt on May 10, 1871 ending the France
and Prussian war. The treaty brought back Alsace and Lorraine back to Germany.
The prisoners of war and trade were also brought back to their respective nations.
It has also helped Germany, which had the capacity to excel on technological
inventions and industry, to have a seat on European power politics. France also
paid five billion francs as an insurance to the casualties and problems it had
done during its reign.
