Saarball (League of Nations)

The Territory of the Saar Basin (also known by its  German name as Saarbeckengebiet or its  French name; Territoire du bassin de la Sarre) was a region of  Germanyball occupied and governed by the  UKball and  Franceball from 1920 to 1935 under a  League of Nationsball mandate. It had its own flag: a blue, white, and black horizontal tricolour. The blue and white stood for Bavariaball, and white and black for  Kingdom of Prussiaball, out of whose lands the Saar Territory was formed. Initially, the occupation was under the auspices of the Treaty of Versailles. Its population in 1933 was 812,000, and its capital was Saarbrückenball. The territory closely corresponds with the modern German state of  Saarlandball, but was slightly smaller in area. After a referendum was held in January 13th 1935, it was returned to Germanyball.
