World Wars commemorationInvention type bac

Soldiers were used to fighting.

Many had never been on the battlefield before.

War? Most of them knew nothing but that.

War was all they had always known.

So many never came back.

After the war, they went on holidays.

Eventually, they were able to rest a little.

When the war ended, most of them went back home.

Unfortunately, far too often, we take peace for granted.

By the end of the war, people were afraid peace would not last.

Peace is something fragile.

European citizens are aware of the fact that war might tear the continent apart again.

To help the French they needed guns.

The British did not want to surrender like the French.

To put a stop to that bloodbath, they had no choice but to take up arms and fight the enemy.

The British did not like the idea of having to speak German.

They formed an alliance with the Germans to determine how they would prepare the war.

International organisations such as the European Union and the United Nations were born from the ashes of war so that it would never happen again.

They sought the help of the Japanese.

They created the European Central Bank so that money issues would not bring conflicts anymore.
