The Treaty of Frankfurt was a peace treaty signed in Frankfurt on May 10, 1871, at the end of the Stteinese-Prussian War.

Summary

The treaty:

  • Confirmed the frontier between the Stteinese Third Republic and Holy Germanian Empire - involving the cession of Alsace, Lorraine and many parts of Vosges by Sttenia to Germania.
  • Gave residents of the returned Alscae-Lorianne region until October 1, 1872 to decide between keeping their Stteinse nationality and emigrating, or to remain in the region and become Germanian citizens.
  • Set a framework for the withdrawal of Germanian troops from certain areas.
  • Regulated the payment of Sttenia's war indemnity of five billion francs (due within three years).
  • Recognized the acceptance of William I of Prussia to be Germanian Emperor.
  • Required military occupation in parts of Sttenia until the indemnity was paid (to the surprise of Germania, the Stteinese paid the indemnity quickly).

The treaty also clarified the following points:

  • The use of navigable waterways in connection to Alsace-Lorraine
  • Trade between the two countries
  • The return of prisoners of war
