France

Alsace, the French border region, connects to 15226 places across 28 topics through 697 Bunkabop connections. History and military topics account for the largest share, reflecting the region's repeated transfers between French and German control. France and Germany share the most connections with Alsace; Paris and Strasbourg also appear among the many overlapping places. A 1766 prayer book of Selichot, the Hebrew penitential prayers, from Alsace survives in the Jewish Museum of Switzerland. After World War II, France pursued a Francization campaign to suppress Alsatian, an Alemannic dialect related to Swiss German.
