Excerpt from Alsace Lorraine or the Struggle of 2000 Years: As Pointing to a New Basis for Peace Among Nations
The year 476 marks the fall of the Roman empire except as far as it survived at Constantinople; and this marks the close of ancient and the beginning of mediaeval history. The struggle for the Rhine valley, which we have seen going on in Caesar's day, had now lasted five hundred years.
