Conseil Supérieur d'Alsace et de Lorraine
The Conseil Supérieur d'Alsace et de Lorraine was an advisory body in Alsace-Lorraine after the First World War .
history
With the beginning of the war, France was preparing for the hoped-for regaining of the realm of Alsace-Lorraine . For this purpose, the Conference d'Alsace-Lorraine was founded in Paris . In this council, various working groups discussed possibilities for integration into the French state. While local politicians such as Georges Weill or Daniel Blumenthal campaigned for a special status and autonomy for the predominantly German-speaking area, at the end of the war I made the decision to assimilate and forcefully push back the German language and culture.
Alexandre Millerand was appointed General Commissioner of the Republic ( commissaire général de la République ) in 1918 for the reintegration of the territory of the former Alsace-Lorraine that was reclaimed by Germany. With a decree of November 26, 1918, the Conseil Supérieur d'Alsace et de Lorraine was placed alongside him as an advisory body, which became the successor to the Conference d'Alsace-Lorraine.
The Landtag of the realm of Alsace-Lorraine had previously declared itself a National Council and decided to approve the annexation to France. The French occupying power, however, declared the state and parliament to be repealed.
With a decree of May 10, 1919, the work of the Conseil Supérieur d'Alsace et de Lorraine was supplemented. By decree of September 8, 1920, the Conseil Supérieur d'Alsace et de Lorraine was dissolved and the Comité consultatif d'Alsace et de Lorraine was created instead .
