A Sign Of Friendship In The Midst Of War I THE CHRISTMAS TRUCE 1914
Initially, everyone believed that this war would be over by Christmas, but on Christmas Eve 1914, soldiers were still facing each other in France, Belgium, throughout Eastern Europe, and all of the other theatres of war. But instead of shooting at each other, quite a few soldiers decided to sing and celebrate this night with their enemies. This happened in many places on the Western Front, and the commanding officers were not happy about it. In future, they would see to it that it did not happen again.

I hope everyone who was responsible for starting that stupid war are roasting in Hell. There were no good guys in that war.

If there was ever an unnecessary and avoidable war, that was it.

“If there was ever an unnecessary and avoidable war, that was it.”
350,000 dead Russians might disagree.

The Alliance between France and Russia was the main reason the war spread.

Casualties now, or even more casualties in the future to repel the next invasion by the next Hitler, or the next Napoleon, or the next Frederick the Great, or the next Charles XII.

The Royal Families of most of the key players were related to each other.
Eventually some were executed.
The rest should have been.
