VIRTUAL CLASS: Christmas Truce 1914

The Christmas Truce of 1914 is often celebrated as a symbolic moment of peace in an otherwise devastatingly violent war. We may like to believe that for just one day, all across the front, men from both sides emerged from the trenches and met in No Man’s Land to exchange gifts and play football. But first-hand testimonies help us get closer to what really happened.

Along the Western Front, a scattered series of small-scale ceasefires did happen between some German and British forces. But this brief festive reprieve was far from a mass event. Where it didn't occur, 25 December 1914 was a day of war like any other. Where it did, accounts suggest that men sang carols and in some cases left their trenches and met in No Man's Land....
Along parts of the front, some men responded to the events of Christmas Eve by tentatively emerging from their trenches into No Man’s Land on Christmas Day. Where it happened, enemy soldiers did indeed meet and spend Christmas together.

Spontaneously, they exchanged gifts and took photos - but it was importantly an opportunity to leave the damp of the trenches and tend to the dead and wounded of No Man’s Land. There wasn't a single organised football match between German and British sides. There may have been small-scale kick-abouts – but these were just one of many different activities men took the time to enjoy.

Watch the video carefully and listen to the lyrics.




Some interesting facts:

• "The line in the song, "In love our problems disappear" was taken from the 1913 Nobel Prize winning Indian poet, Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941). The original quotation was: "In love all of life's contradictions dissolve and disappear." "
• "The music video featured Paul McCartney playing two different soldiers on opposing sides of trenches in World War 1. It recreated the incident where the opposing sides played a football match in No Man's Land on Christmas Day, 1914. .."  source:http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=11256
•  "...It portrays a British and a German soldier, both played by McCartney, who meet up in No Man's Land and exchange photos of their loved ones while other soldiers fraternise and play football. When a shell blast forces the two armies to retreat to their own trenches both men realise that they still have each other's pictures..." source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipes_of_Peace_(song)

TRANSCRIPT:
Dear Mr Smith,
 I hope you will accept my apology for not writing before. It has not been want of will it has been lack of opportunity. I wonder how you all are. I am fairly well now but was very queer for several weeks recently. I also often wonder how you are all getting on and should like to hear. 
A matter of about five minutes ago Fritz was bombing us, and I have just got up off the ground where I was laying for about twenty minutes. One fellow has been hit, but not severely by shrapnel. This is his second visit this evening. 
It will soon be twelve months since I left you. It seems a very long time ago. I am afraid I have very little I may tell you, so will conclude by asking you to accept my best wishes for the New year and desiring that you will remember me kindly to any enquiring friends. Believe me, dear  
Mr Smith, sincerely yours
W Wiggs.

World War 1- Causes - VIRTUAL CLASS

Estudios Interculturales VIRTUAL CLASS: Since we've been missing several classes...THIS ENTRY will be our VIRTUAL CLASS. You'll have to work ON YOUR OWN. Any queries, let me know ASAP.


In class we started reading: "Core Content. The 20th Century..." (pp. 758 to 760)... There we could see causes of the WW1. Watch these two videos: "What caused the WW1?" and "Bet You didn't know: WW1 /History." Then Draw a TABLE with 4 columns.

1. what I knew about WW1 (BEFORE reading the material or watching the videos)	2. what I learnt from video 1	3. what I learnt from video 2	4. what I learnt from the song.

• 1st Video: "What Caused the WW1?"

• 2nd VIDEO: "Bet you didn't know : WW1/History." History Channel. You can use this video to complete your MAP. Be careful with countries and political divisions in 1914, they're different from 2018!

• Now listen to this song "Causes of WW1" (It's a PARODY on Moana's song). Can you complete a FOURTH column of your TABLE with information from the song? Is there anything NEW?

 

Would you like to listen to Moana's ORIGINAL version of "How far I'll go"? GO TO THIS LINK

PORTFOLIO 

• Paste the TABLE onto your portfolio.
• Do NOT write full sentences, write ONLY CONCEPTS in NOUN PHRASES
• TRY to make an ORGANIZED table, i.e. if the concept is REPEATED it in MORE than one source, write it on the SAME line.

DEADLINE: June 29th
