Adolphe Thiers worked to pay off debts and liberate the last French territories occupied by Germany following the treaty.
Thiers aimed to pay off the debt to Germany and liberate the last French territory occupied by the Germans. In a separate 1873 convention, not a term of the Treaty of Frankfurt, he signed an agreement on 15 March 1873 calling for the Germans to leave four French departments—Ardennes, Vosges, Meurthe-et-Moselle and Meuse—by July 1873, two years ahead of schedule.
