- W202642752 abstract "November 1918, the final month of the Great War, was greeted with patriotic fervour and joy by all of the war-weary citizens of the victorious Allied powers, but the celebrations of the Armistice and the Allied victory had a uniquely emotional quality in Alsace, one of the 'lost provinces' whose return from German rule had been at the centre of French war aims. 'All of Alsace was covered by tricolor flags', a contemporary observer was later to recall. 'Patriotic songs and military marches floated in the air, sung, whistled, and hummed.' Another contemporary noted that 'bourgeois, workers, peasants, all let themselves go' in the collective outburst of pro-French sentiment, to such an extent that 'social and religious barriers no longer existed'.' Many aspects of the celebration were contrived, as well-to-do urbanites dug out traditional folk costumes not worn in years to meet the arriving poilus; a young woman from the small town of Rosheim remarked that 'the girls of Strasbourg have completely lost their minds; they all want to dress up as peasants!'2 In a scene repeated from village to village as the French troops advanced toward the Rhine, a delegation of local notables met the poilus as they arrived, and children in folk costumes and grizzled veterans of the Franco-Prussian War made ritual appearances, often presenting gifts to the soldiers. The festivities with which the French troops were welcomed were little different in the metropolis of Strasbourg from the isolated villages of the Vosges mountains. Alsatians of all backgrounds who presented themselves to the arriving poilus in this manner were conscious participants in a collective fiction that had been inculcated in a generation of patriotic Frenchmen: that Alsace, despite a half-century of German rule, despite the fact that its inhabitants spoke a German dialect impenetrable to French ears, and despite (or perhaps because of) the quaint, picturesque images presented by its villages and their inhabitants, had always remained essentially French, and that its inhabitants, while suffering under the 'Prussian boot', had constantly nurtured the hope of rejoining their fellow Frenchmen under the tricolore. Jean Martin, editor of the Haut-Rhin's socialist daily, Der Republikaner, shared in this fiction when" @default.
