Ivanov Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 This day, 93 years ago, ended the First World War. Let's pay the tribute to all the fallen during this conflict. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F863oLNC3RI&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kommandant Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 A moment of silence, for all those who served, and lived the horror of the Great War. All those brave soldiers, from both the sides, who died and gave their lives serving their nations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of war Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 We should honor the end of the massacre, but we should also remember that the end of Great War gave independence to a bunch of modern Europe countries, including Poland. In my country 11th November is rather cheerful day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my country 11th November is rather cheerful day. Yes, it was especially cheerful this year;) Poland didn't get her independence, but simply regained it after 123 years, thanks to the fact that all three occupying powers - Germany, Russia and Austro-Hungary - colapsed after the war. But yes, 11th of November 1918 was a beggining of a new era and new conflicts. Russian Civil War, Polish-Soviet War - great potential subjects for a new SC2 campaign;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kommandant Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Ah WW1, aways behind WW2 even if it's more important to the modern history. here is something interesting, if you haven't got into the movie Ivanov posted, i found this in the coments: "Two years ago, Harry Patch died. He was the last infantry solider alive that had fought in the trenches and mud of WWI. Earlier this year, Claude Stanley Choules of the Australian navy died. The last known man to have been in active service. Since it started in England in 1919, this will be the FIRST ever Remembrance day that has NO surviving WWI veterans still alive anywhere. Of all the millions who put on a uniform and went to that war almost 100 years ago, the last one has finally fallen." And here is another thing if you want to fell some shivers down your spine: It's much more for the music, very beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
