Wait, isn't it armistice day? I mean, I heard it commemorates those who died in WW1, though it does have the risk of sucking off the troops, for the war effort dead-dove-1

The original holiday was to celebrate the end of WWI, which (at the time) was thought to be the war to end all wars. But then wars kept happening because it turns out 1918 wasn't the end of history lol.

Yeah they forgot about the rest of the world again when they said history ended after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Main character syndrome to the max on that one.

History is a set of lies agreed upon
