The history of Mulhouse goes back to 58 BC when it was under the Romans. It then became part of the Holy Roman Empire. The city joined the Swiss Confederation in 1515, and did not become part of France until 1798, when its citizens voted to do so. This led to the Treaty of Mulhouse on 28 January 1798.
Mulhouse was annexed by Germany in 1870, becoming part of the German Empire until the end of the First World War, when it returned to France. During the Second World War it was again occupied by Germany until the end of the war.
