The Christmas truce was a sign that people can get along under the fiercest and most brutal conditions. Not only did the country’s share cigarettes, play cards, and play football, the most manliest soldiers song Christmas carols with each other. As the Germans started off the truce they gave the British some chocolate cake, with a note saying proposing to give the British a concert and for them to cease fire. Then surprised British accepted the offer, they returned the offer by giving the Germans tobacco. All of a sudden the Germans started singing Christmas songs and British joined in and from there the Christmas truce went all through different trenches.

The soldier

The character that I am playing is a newly engaged 25 year old German man.He left his wife and his new born babe back home. He stays in touch by writing letters back home. He stays there doing the same routine everyday of seeing dead bodies, and shooting guns, and throwing grenades. He sits and reminisces on the good times that his family shared. He just waiting for the day for the war to end.

Monologue: Damn whats gotten into Himmelstoss? Why is he acting this way? I beat its from those dreadful trenches. Wow this is proposterous he even gave me extra food, and now he is talking about easing the work load, I could get use to this.
(The next day) Krop and Leer were going to get in so much trouble for crossing the canal. How many girls are there going to be? "Three I said" said Leer. Then krop said "I hope you boys been work in on your French. That's when I said ovwa beautiful and she replied to me as "poor boys". later that night i gatherd some food and we swam back over there in my boots. Damn was it cold!
(The next day) Things are finally starting to look better, I'm being sent home. When I get home things are the same moms still has cancer and things are still bad.

Legacy of the French Revolution

After Napoleon abdicates in 1814, the revolution is officially over, and Louis XVIII is crowned King of France. Can you believe it? The monarchy returns!!! In light of our investigation of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era, evaluate the legacy of the French Revolution. Do you believe it was a success or a failure?

Besides the fact that napoleon and his people killed 40,000 people in twelve months. Napoleon just wanted to better his country; he did so by conquering many European countries except for Sweden, and Portugal. Although you can’t say that killing 40,000 people is a success, you can’t say that killing innocent and neutral people is a success, and he was beheaded because his own people thought that he was crazy, how is that a success? Napoleons main goal was to fight for and get rid monarchy. Although he did for twelve months but when he was beheaded Louis XVIII came into power he then returned France into a complete monarchy. You could say that napoleon had twelve months of success.
