For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. 20For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.

The people of the Saarland are Germans. Period. We never wanted nor will we ever want to be a part of France. We were german for hundreds of years now and we won't turn our backs on our own nation which our ancestors formed with their blood and defended against countless foreign enemies. But don't get me wrong, we really like going across the border and enjoying a little bit of France - I for example love the french language and country, but we tend to get in fist fights with the young french men that think they can do what they want on the german side of the border every now and then. ;) Much love, mwoah!

One striking memory of living there was that I'd take the bus across the border to France to go shopping (German shops generally weren't open unless you were at work, Germans can have a weird idea of convenience. This side of the border, old man with a big walking stick walking his dog past newly painted houses. That side of the border, old men playing boules in the dirt while dogs sniff around unpainted houses with shutters hanging artfully askew. The border at that time seemed friendly enough, and welcoming on both sides, but not accidental in the least!

With a voter participation of 98%, the result of the plebiscite was that the overwhelming majority, 90. 8%, voted to re-join the German Reich, with only 8. 8% wanting to retain the status quo, primarily as they did not wish to be ruled by Nazis. A third option of joining France received 0. 4% of the vote. - wikipedia

France and UK sure didn't care about self-determination in Eastern Europe either, and the only referendums allowed to take place was on the border of Austria and Hungary, both on the losing side. The winners had no problems taking 90+% ethnically German or Hungarian territories.

Is it also true that there was also some domestic opposition to the annexation after WW2? I thought I remember reading somewhere that the social democrats within the French National Assembly were opposed to this?

Why isn't Saarland a part of France? Maybe it's because the people there are Germans who speak German--standard German and their own dialect, but German nonetheless. Why would Germans want to live in France?

The amazing thing is that France managed to not have much coal in its borders or its territories, but there was significant amounts of coal in one little piece of Europe just across the border.

When you have to allow your former enemy, who early single handedly held up against most of the world by itsself, to reform, just so you have enough capability to deal with your new enemy.

Equally relevant to the creation of the ECSC is that by that time France was aggressively pursuing nuclear energy, which greatly reduced its reliance on coal.

Pathetic. One of the reason the peace ov Versailles failed was France's desire to completely humiliate Germany. And yet they had the audacity to ask for more.

2: 10 To the best of my knowledge, France wasn't really invaded by Germany in 1870. France invaded Germany (or tried to) and was pushed back properly.

Roughly translated from german: there was an ages long conflict between france and germany on who has to keep the Saarland. And of course we lost it.

Fun fact: Karl Adenauer (Post Ww2 German Chancellor) actually wanted Saarland NOT to rejoin Germany but was pressured by NATO to accept.

Saarland has not a connection to France where Bonaparte ruled. The people of Saarland said that to him! He accepted this!

It makes you wonder how many more times France would be invaded by Germany if it wasn't for NATO and the EU.
