Non seulement il veut reprendre la deuxième nation et il n'accepte pas ces citoyen ( et même si il acceptait ses citoyens ça ne changerait rien au fait qu'ils veulent conquérir la deuxième nation )
That is the most beautiful moment in war they all joined together for mins drinking and playing football is like the most best forever Christ mas present
For those who dont know: On christmas eve 1914, during the first world war, there was a truce (like a peaceful break) on the front. The soldiers went out of their trenches, and started celebrating with each other (even with the enemies), sharing sweets and what else they had, and even played football.
so for context the christmas truce happened during WW1.the first to comense this truce were the germans lifting candles and singing carols now this harmless singing led to a literal stop to the war as some men even played football with the enemy troops.On a grand scale this shows the humanity of people back in the 20th century
after the truce the soldiers were relocated to different fronts because they refused to fight one another they built a bond and a deep friendship and understanding that they went against orders,
This happened because in July 1914 there was a world war, the Germans were hated by England, then the first world war broke out and then on December 24th the soldiers left the trenches
The cristmas Truce is my favorite ww1 story, to qoute Sabaton's song about it:" 'cause today we' re all brothers, to night we're all friends, we don't think about tomorrow when battle will comence" December 24-25 (more in some sectors) 1914, a cristmas where troops laid down their guns to see each other not as enemies, but as fellow humans.
i don't think you understand how much this event resonates with me. i first learnt about this in 8th grade and i haven't stopped thinking about it ever since. at the end of the day, they were also just human, missing their families back home
Those who dont know German and british soldiers enjoyed that time on christmas eve and on christmas. They drank, enjoyed and played football in which british soldier won but sadly they have to fight 😔. Everyone dies War is young man dying and old man talking.

@@eyebrowlover75He probably meant ‘Soldiers don’t fight because they hate what is in front of them. They fight because they want to protect what is behind them’.
The Christmas truce of 1914 it lasted for 2 days. The soldiers saw that the other side was not evil, just people fighting because they were trying to do good for their home.
I am from India and in our 8th grade CBSE English book we had a chapter called "The best Christmas present in the world". It described about the truce. That was emotional tbh😊
Well in India ssc board it's same we only learn about India and it gets repetitive at one point in history books they tell about about 2008 imen that's like 2 years before I was horn that ain't history and there is so much history like ww1 ww2 we just have 2 to 3 passages and other countries are only mentioned😢
CONTEXT: This scene has been taken from the movie "All quite on the western front"(this is a mistake, read the edit) which depicts extremely harsh conditions while fighting in the trenches during WW1, however during the Christmas of 1914, the German forces wanted to celebrate the occasion, so they lit their lanterns and displayed them on the edge of their trenches, carol singing broke out. Soon enough the British and French troops joined in. Christmas greetings and well wishes were exchanged, and offers of a temporary ceasefire were communicated between the trenches. It was a truly a heartwarming moment in all of history.
