Why did France want revenge on Germany in 1914 World War 1 need answer quick plzzz?

Answer 1

Because of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, when France was defeated, the German Empire proclaimed at Versailles, and two provinces (Alsace and Lorraine) transferred from France to Germany. And similarly this goes back to Napoleons defeat of Prussia in 1806...

Answer 2

The reason the Versailles Treaty was so harsh on Germany was because of France. They wanted revenge on Germany for decisively defeating the imperialistic plans of Napoleon III's to dominate Central Europe. The 1871 Franco-Prussian war, in which the Prussian Kingdom and an alliance of federated German kingdoms defeated he armies of Napoleon III, took Alsace-Lorraine became a unified nation. As result, France lived with the humiliation of defeat laying the seeds for a confrontational relationship with the newly established German Empire. After the defeat of Germany and the Central Powers in 1918, Germany was forced to submit to the terms of Versailles Treaty of 1919. As a result of the harsh terms of the Versailles Treaty, Germany went into economic meltdown and the continued economic depression of the 1920s and 1930s led to the rise of extremists in Germany on both the left (communists) and the right (fascists/Nazis). Germany was a powder-keg for violent revolution and radical change.
