Here is the Alternate History Challenge - France ends up fighting Germany again sometime after the Franco-Prussian war and does better. It wins significant, but still limited, victory. This can be a late 19th century war, it can be a 20th century war, you can satisfy it however you'd like.
- Germany exits the war with its territorial losses in Europe limited to all of Alsace-Lorraine and no indemnity
- Significantly, the pre-1870 border with France is restored, there is no French or other foreign occupation (or annexation) of Saar, Rhineland, or the Ruhr.
- There are no losses to Germany's northern, eastern, or southern borders as a direct consequence of the armistice and peace treaty that ratifies France's victory.
- Outside of Europe, Germany may lose one more of its colonial territories to France or a French ally
- France (and Germany) can both fight one another with, or without allies, in any scenario you present
- Make the scenario and chain of events leading to the points above sound plausible and convincing.
