In the beginning months of World War I, a very strange thing happened. After the fierce trench warfare of November and December, on Christmas Eve, 1914, the fighting spontaneously stopped. Men on both sides laid down their arms and came to celebrate Christmas with each other. They shared food parcels across the lines, sang carols together, and erected Christmas trees with candles. They buried the dead, exchanged presents, and even played soccer together.
Stanley Weintraub uses the letters and diaries of the men present to underscore the reality of this strange, delicate, twilight-like state of truce, when peace and good will really were for all men. It was with reluctance that the truce came to an end, and men had to get back to the business of killing.

If the men in the trenches were asked why they were fighting most probably would not be able to give an answer other than because they were drafted or because their leaders/newspapers etc., said they had to fight for their country. I don’t know much about the reasons behind the WWI but I imagine it had a lot to do with greedy, vain, egotistical leaders wanting to dominate more than just their own country. Yeah, I know it was more complex than that. But when it comes right down to it, the average Jack, Fritz or Pierre couldn’t have cared less. They just wanted to live in peace and get on with their lives.
