But as you will soon see, it's not as easy as the Pope thought it would be.]]> 2020-01-31 17:57:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sterkee024/lgoxj0u8erat/wish/438904381 sterkee024 https://padlet.com/sterkee024/lgoxj0u8erat/wish/438908026 Carnegie didn't really want this Christmas truce to happen. He thought it was immoral and unchristian to stop war and start it up again like that. He also wanted war to continue to teach people about the cruel reality of it, so there wouldn't be another one.]]> 2020-01-31 18:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sterkee024/lgoxj0u8erat/wish/438908026 sterkee024 https://padlet.com/sterkee024/lgoxj0u8erat/wish/438911572 Chances are starting to look slim. Even though most powers had sympathy, Turkey and Russia did not want a Christmas truce whatsoever.]]> 2020-01-31 18:07:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sterkee024/lgoxj0u8erat/wish/438911572 sterkee024 https://padlet.com/sterkee024/lgoxj0u8erat/wish/440435177 One of the countries, England, left their decision up to France, since the Christmas truce depended on England's military situation which meant if anything went wrong, the French would be responsible.]]> 2020-02-04 17:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sterkee024/lgoxj0u8erat/wish/440435177 sterkee024 https://padlet.com/sterkee024/lgoxj0u8erat/wish/440459531 The people in the trenches decided to have the truce! During the truce, there was an African-American man named George Ullard who liked to sing. The people in the trenches LOVED it! The man even taught them some songs. Everyone was sharing smokes and drinks. Good times.]]> 2020-02-04 17:56:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sterkee024/lgoxj0u8erat/wish/440459531 sterkee024 https://padlet.com/sterkee024/lgoxj0u8erat/wish/442458645 Jacob hated Germans no matter what. He refused to associate with them even during the truce. Then, one night, a drunk German wandered into his trench. Jacob got very defensive and even reached for his gun. But instead, he decided to fight him. It was a pretty even fight, so Jacob considered him a man and they shook hands. Jacob stated that if the German had whined, he would've killed him.]]> 2020-02-08 00:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sterkee024/lgoxj0u8erat/wish/442458645 sterkee024 https://padlet.com/sterkee024/lgoxj0u8erat/wish/442459822 During the truce, soldiers retrieved their fallen brothers from No-Man's-Land and properly bury them. They promised not to fight until midnight. They sung to celebrate the holidays. Although many soldiers heard gunshots in the distance, the area that they were in was completely quiet. It was beautiful. There was an officer that hoped that they would do it again on Christmas (spoiler alert: they didn't).]]> 2020-02-08 00:57:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sterkee024/lgoxj0u8erat/wish/442459822 sterkee024 https://padlet.com/sterkee024/lgoxj0u8erat/wish/442460850 When the war started again, George's trench got blown up by the Germans. One of the Germans wanted to hear him sing again, but his friend was all like "bruh. we killed him, fool" and the other German said "oh, word".]]> 2020-02-08 01:05:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sterkee024/lgoxj0u8erat/wish/442460850 sterkee024 https://padlet.com/sterkee024/lgoxj0u8erat/wish/442461389 A man named John Street had made a friend with a German across his trench during the truce. The the day after the truce, John waved to his German friend across No Man's Land, and he got shot in the head. R.I.P. John.

They thought it was a disadvantage to either side. They hated it so much that they didn't want any socializing ever again.]]> 2020-02-08 01:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sterkee024/lgoxj0u8erat/wish/442462070
