520    Though not so famous as the battles of Tannenberg or the 
       Marne, the fight between the French and German armies at 
       Alsace and Lorraine marks the first battle of World War 
       IOn August 7, 1914, a week before the Battle of Tannenburg
       and two weeks before the Battle of the Marne, the French 
       army attacked the Germans at Mulhouse in Alsace. Their 
       objective was to recapture territory which had been lost 
       after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871, which made it 
       a matter of pride for the French. However, after initial 
       success in capturing Mulhouse, the Germans were able to 
       reinforce more quickly, and drove them back within three 
       days. After 43 years of peace, this was the first test of 
       strength between France and Germany. In 1929 Karl 
       Deuringer wrote the official history of the battle for the
       Bavarian Army, an immensely detailed work of 890 pages; 
       World War I expert and former army officer Terence Zuber 
       has translated this study and edited it down to more 
       accessible length, to produce the first account in English
       of the first major battle of the World War I.
