Germany in WW1: Only gets a few inches of France in 4 years, and loses the war Germany in WW2: Absolutely powers through France and takes it all over in 6 weeks.

Your maps are off. They show the Franco-Germanic border AFTER WWI changed things. As it stands, you keep showing Alsace and Lorraine as being under French dominion. This confuses the young.
