Extrait: "L'Alsace en 1789 était mi-française, mi-allemande. Celui qui la visitait rapidement la jugeait plus allemande que française; le voyageur anglais Arthur Young, par exemple, eut cette impression quand il traversa la pays en juillet 1789. La grande masse des paysans ne parlait que le dialecte alsacien; elle comprenait souvent l'allemand, presque jamais le français."

Extrait: "Parmi les causes multiples de la Révolution, on néglige généralement d'en signaler une: la France, au temps de Louis XVI, était trop heureuse.
