Thread Name: BS: Christmas Truce (1914)
Subject: RE: BS: Christmas Truce (1914)
Over 6000 civilians including children were deliberately murdered in Belgium, and more in France.
That is a fact and people were influenced by it, but Britain went to war because we had a treaty to defend Belgium, and Belgium and France were invaded, and our own security threatened.

I have not rejected any historians. No dissenting ones have emerged.
I have read Graves and Sassoon and Owen.
Of course they are not liars, but neither were they typical or representative.

You are now rehashing the current WW1 thread arguments on this thread.
Why?
This one is about the Xmas truce.
