About The Christmas Truce
The Christmas Truce was a historical event during the Great War, where German, French, and British soldiers agreed to an unofficial truce. Lasting two days from December 24 to 25, soldiers sang songs, exchanged gifts, and even played soccer, with the Germans winning 3-2 against the French. The truce ended when officers and leaders ordered them back to their trenches.
