Treaty of Frankfurt

From Wikinfo

The Treaty of Frankfurt was signed May 10, 1871, at the end of the Franco-Prussian War. Presumably the terms were more or less dictated by Prussia, the victor.

The treaty:

• confirmed the final frontier between France and Germany
• set a framework for the withdrawal of German troops from certain areas
• regulated the payment of the French War Indemnity

It also clarified the following points:

• the use of navigable waterways in connected to Alsace-Lorraine
• trade between the two countries.
• the return of prisoners of war
