World Wars commemorationInvention type bac

Soldiers were used to fighting.

War? Most of them knew nothing but that.

Many had never been on the battlefield before.

War was all they had always known.

Eventually, they were able to rest a little.

So many never came back.

After the war, they went on holidays.

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

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

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

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

Peace is something fragile.

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.

To help the French they needed guns.

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.

They sought the help of the Japanese.

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