As you might imagine World war I was one of the bloodiest events in frankly all of human history. I was thinking about putting pictures in here and I encourage you to do a picture search of WWI, of mass graves and people starving, soldiers dead,... trenches. I will make you feel ill and.. it's probably a good thing to look for these images.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

다른 번역문 등록

So directly, in the military, this is the death of soldiers So this is the military.발음듣기
