Saarland
State, SW Germany. It has an area of 992 sq mi (2,569 sq km). The capital, Saarbr\u00fc cken, lies along the Saar River. The region was contested by France and Germany from the 17th cent. until 1815, when France ceded most of it to Prussia by the Treaty of Paris. When Alsace-Lorraine was added to the German empire in 1871, the Saar ceased to be a boundary state and developed rapidly as a coal-mining and industrial area, producing iron and steel. French military forces occupied it after World War II, but it was restored to Germany and became a state in 1957.
