hi I don’t have time to make a build so I am making a forum post

From Wikipedia:

World War I (often abbreviated as WWI or WW1), also known as the First World War or the Great War, was a global war originating in Europe that lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918. Contemporaneously described as the "war to end all wars", it led to the mobilisation of more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, making it one of the largest wars in history. An estimated nine million combatants and seven million civilians died as a direct result of the war, while it is also considered a contributory factor in a number of genocides and the 1918 influenza epidemic, which caused between 50 and 100 million deaths worldwide. Military losses were exacerbated by new technological and industrial developments and the tactical stalemate caused by gruelling trench warfare. It was one of the deadliest conflicts in history and precipitated major political changes, including the Revolutions of 1917–1923, in many of the nations involved. Unresolved rivalries at the end of the conflict contributed to the start of the Second World War about twenty years later.

This post is dedicated to all the brave men who died fighting for their countries, regardless of whether they lost, and the countless women who helped treat the wounded. To them, we salute you.

    RIP all the men that fought in WW1, it doesn't depend on their side. They should be honored if they sacrificed their lives for their country. And those that lives to tell the tale should be honored as well.
