Why didn’t Germany annex more of France in 1871? (Animated History Documentary)

After France’s defeat in 1871 to Prussia, the rest of the German Confederation and later the German Empire, it lost the region of Alsace-Lorraine and a bunch of money. But given how decisive the Prussian victory was, why didn’t it demand more territory from the French? To find out watch this short and simple animated history documentary.
