Why did the French make peace with Britain in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries? Why not with Germany?

Answer 1

The Germans invaded France in 1870. The war caused great hardship in France generally, and Paris in particular, and thereafter the Frence looked towards England as their natural allies, rather than Germany and the distrust between the two countries of the 16th, 17th and early 19th centuries were forgotten, Indeed, Emperor Napoleon III who abdicated at the end of the Franco-Prussian War spent his last days in England. The rapprochment suited Great Britain as it was becoming increasingly alarmed at the rise in militarism in the united Germany.

Answer 2

Great Britain and France no longer contended over the right to Normandy bc the Kings of Great Britain came from the German line.
The 19th and early 20th was the time of the Industrial Revolution. France and Germany got into it over the Alace-Lorraine district which was rich in coal and the Rurr valley which was rich in iron.

Answer 3

Germany wanted lands on continental Europe, Britain didn't France broke its long tradition of getting into wars with Britain in order to keep its land away from Germany.
