It has been a hundred years.
The first world war is one of the most widespread armed conflict in human history, which ended November 11, 1918, i.e. exactly 100 years ago. All the years of the war the army of the warring countries were mobilized more than 70 million people, including 60 million in Europe.
100 years later, on the ground still left a lot of scars. In France and Belgium ruins are preserved as monuments, and fields and woods, which in those days were places of battles, was the huge cemeteries. 100 years later you can still see the damage that was inflicted by the First world war landscape.
