World War I - Tears of the Saints

Hey - I have been getting a lot of comments on that I have "other wars" in this video. I just want to let you all know I am aware of this. The reason why I have other clips rom movies and other wars is that I could only find so much footage on the internet on WWI to fill up a 5 minute song. So I snuck other stuff in there to fll up the time...This was a history project for school so I got away with it lol.

Oh, and yeah, people have also been pointing out that these obviously cant be my cousins because it was so long ago. Sorry I wasn't specific enough - obviouly they are not first cousins but rather distant cousins (my grandmothers cousins.)

The song is called "Tears of the Saints" and its by Leeland.

Enjoy!

Remember the dead for there sacrifice, yes, but do not forget those that came home safe (in body at least), as you should not have to die in order to be respected

it's so sad that most people forget about the great war. They all think it was boring and skip ahead to world war 2. But eventually they'll realise without the great war and the many multidudes that were lost they're wouldn't be a WW2.

[Handskakning]

Get one thing straight and clear: The First World War was not about freedom or liberal democracy. All the yapper about it was democratic propaganda from within the Entente. The Great War was about, if anything, power struggle, an ancient struggle between empires. These empires disappeared or were knocked out by the World War, and in the anxious social upheaval that followed, conflicts of rage and hate and utopias wolfed in. The best outcome of WW I would have been a German victory,

Redbaron You are wrong to assume that nonsense! Canada's role on land sea and in the air in both world wars is well and truly known and spoken of here. Your remarkes surprised me!

[cona94]

@Redbaron011 In England we are taught that the canadians fought in WW2

common knowledge :D

[Fridomfry]

In France we remember well that the Canadians came to the rescue in both world wars, years before other Americans set foot on a battlefield "Vimy Ridge" and the Somme, Dieppe, D-Day, etc.

[Redbaron011]

Thanks to the armed forces of Canada. It is sad that popular history dismisses Canada's role in the world wars.
