One thing that I have wondered was what if Alsace-Lorraine was awarded to a German state after the Battle of Waterloo? The POD is that the British suffer more in the battle and the arrival of the Prussian become more critical. After the battle, the Germans ask for Alsace-Lorraine as a barrier to another French invasion. The Allies agree and award Alsace-Lorraine to a German state. The two with the best claim would be Prussia due to their part in the Battle of Waterloo and Baden due to the fact that they are on the other side of the Rhine.
Which German state would end up with Alsace-Lorraine? Would France still be as embittered over losing Alsace-Lorraine?
I did use the search feature and I did not see a thread on this. If there is one, please let me know.
Thank you
