Start writing here:

Way back in 1914, There was a huge war going on. There were countries fighting for their country. And those countries were. Italy, Hungary, Russia, and all the rest of the countries.

But it wasn’t just any type of war… It was one of the biggest, greatest and most massive wars!, on Earth. A lot of men had to fight to win. You had to be 16+ or over. It was really sad to say goodbye to your loved ones, or 16+ sons.. 

When the war began, all They could hear was men shouting because they were injured. They could smell smoke from flame throwers and from cannonballs. Also seeing men losing their lives, and saying goodbye to their family or loved ones. 

There were a lot of men that lost their lives. A lot of families thought they would come before Christmas starts. But… They were fighting for 4 years. 

4 years later, When they were still fighting, a group of men were making a treaty to stop the war. It was a big deal, but it was only the best to stop them from hurting each other. 

They did the treaty, and made them a deal. Then.. The war finally stops. Everyone was so happy that the war stopped. But not everyone. Families lost their loved ones, their dad, 16 17 18 or 19+ sons. 

They will never be forgotten in their families heart.
