Answer 1

Both were areas taken over by a foreign power and will be returned to their previous state is the statement which best describes relationship between Belgium and Alsace-Lorraine in the text.

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Alsace-Lorraine was taken over by Germany from France in the Franco-Prussian war in 1871. Belgium was invaded by Germany during world War 1. At the End of the World War 1, The Treaty of Versailles was formed to declare the defeat of Germany in World War 1.

As per the Treaty, Germany returned the Alsace –Lorraine Territory back to France and they had to surrender small amount of German Territory to Belgium after the World War 1. Thus they lost control of both the states and many territories.
