To say nothing of the content, the English needs an edit for grammar and style -- some may be machine-translated. For example, towards the end, the piece mentions "three cities": Paris, Alsace and Lorraine. Of these three, only Paris is a city. That may be the result of a translation from French (or from English into French and back into English, given that much of the end of the piece borrows from Paula Hyman, a well-respected US historian). Ungrammatical and unidiomatic language appears throughout.
