from
Wikipedia
It was not the king of France but the armies of the French Revolution who terminated the independence of the states in the region of the Saarland.
After 1792 they conquered the region and made it part of the French Republic.
While a strip in the west belonged to the Département Moselle, the centre in 1798 became part of the Département de Sarre, and the east became part of the Département du Mont-Tonnerre.
After the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, the region was divided again.
Most of it became part of the Prussian Rhine Province.
Another part in the east, corresponding to the present Saarpfalz district, was allocated to the Kingdom of Bavaria.
A small part in the northeast was ruled by the Duke of Oldenburg.
