Historical background
CITY OF STRASBOURG
(Seventeenth century)
During the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), Alsace was ravaged by the belligerents: French, Germans and Swedes. In 1638, the Prince of Saxe-Weimar seized Alsace but he was killed in 1679 and the French recovered the new province which was attached to France by the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648. In 1673, Alsace was invaded by the Imperials. Turenne won the victory of Turckheim in January 1675 and reconquered Alsace, but he was swept away by a cannonball in front of Salzbach on July 27, 1675. With the Treaty of Nijmegen, on February 5, 1679, Alsace definitively passed under French control. France seized Strasbourg on September 30, 1681 and Louis XIV entered the city on October 8..
