Treaty with Native Americans? The US of A has ripped up about a dozen of those.
Apparently they forgot about this one. Plus precedent has been set by two cases where land was given back to the descendants of the black families it was taken from.. altho in one case here in LA they promptly sold it back to the city for $Millions...

Depending on the land and what was built on it, that sounds like a perfect outcome!!

It would be confusing to work out who owes who what between France and Germany, over Alsace-Lorraine.

Yup. It feels very much like Germany but is full of quite nationalistic French people. Germany said 'Germany ends at the Vosges mountains', France said 'France ends at the Rhine'.
(It also adds to the Oradour atrocity and is part of why it is as it is today. Some (14?) of the Waffen SS troops that did it were from Alsace....which France regarded as France).
Doubt is not a pleasant condition.
But certainty is an absurd one.

Never mind minor border issues, Aquitaine belongs to England.
Savoie has changed nationality so many times!! Mostly between France and Italy. But I believe the Swiss made the effort at one point (they definitely had a go at Haut-Savoie!!).
The history around here is quite interesting on that score! LOL Probably why one of the staple foods is pizza
Also, the view of Mont Blanc that you can see from my resort is actually the Italian side of Mont Blanc. Weird because that is on the French side geographically

I do, but it will be easier to get England back if the Engish bugger off. Of course the Angles and Saxons came from elsewhere, but Aquitaine sounds more appealing, and it's not quite so long ago.
I'm alright then as I have Huguenot blood somewhere back . Confirmed by my liking of andouillette, frogs' legs and rudely correcting other people's bad grammar.
A newborn baby found earlier this year in Newham, east London, is the third child abandoned by the same parents, the BBC can report.
DNA tests presented to the East London Family Court established that “Baby Elsa” is the sibling of two babies, a boy and a girl, found in very similar circumstances in 2017 and 2019.

Jeesus. There's either something really horrible going on to a girl/woman out there who's got no one to turn to/help her, or there's some seriously stupid people having sex
Ok, I know the second happens a lot, but really, have they not worked out what causes it yet?!!
