border1871 was created by Benoit Vaillot with Heurist software as part of his doctoral thesis under the supervision of Professors Pieter M. Judson (European University Institute) and Catherine Maurer (Université de Strasbourg): At the nation's gates. A history from below of the French-German border (1871-1914).
