Which of the following was a reason why the loss of alsace and lorraine to germany was a major blow to france?
a. the two provinces made up the majority of the population of france prior to the end of the franco-prussian war.
b. the two provinces were the intellectual centers of france.
c. the two provinces acted as a buffer zone for france.
d. they were two of france's major coal-producing provinces.

The answer is A. The two provinces made up the majority of the population of France prior to the end of the Franco-Prussian War.  These two places previously were a part of France but became part of Germany after the Franco-Prussian War.  Despite the fact that victory went to the Germans, both sides found themselves in a deadlock which led to trench warfare as both armies dug in.
