I want to know the answer to the following question:
What were the reasons for people to begin leaving Alsace?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Thus, it is not surprising that people left Alsace, not only for Paris – where the Alsatian community grew in numbers, with famous members such as Baron Haussmann – but also for more distant places like Russia and the Austrian Empire, to take advantage of the new opportunities offered there: Austria had conquered lands in Eastern Europe from the Ottoman Empire and offered generous terms to colonists as a way of consolidating its hold on the new territories.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
