-If the person had no gun or weapon, you could not kill them. (People actually followed these rules)

-In the middle of a battle at Christmas, they were all killing each other and then this German guy started singing silent night. Everybody stopped firing, and walked up to each other and hugged and shook hands and then went back to their trenches. Next day, they go kill each other again.

-What are you fighting for? Because some Prince died?


There are millions of other things that I don't get, but these are the main things.

I hate idiots like you, op.
"-If the person had no gun or weapon, you could not kill them. (People actually followed these rules)"
it's called chivalry, and it's because they really didn't have much reason to hate each other and saw each other man as a real human being. this will come in later

"-In the middle of a battle at Christmas, they were all killing each other and then this German guy started singing silent night. Everybody stopped firing, and walked up to each other and hugged and shook hands and then went back to their trenches. Next day, they go kill each other again."
again, they had no huge reason to hate each other, so they decided to put down their arms and celebrate the holy day. the reason behind the "go back to their trenches and kill each other" is because if you were caught doing it without having other millions do it as well, you would be caught and executed, then you would be shamed publicly and your family wouldn't get any reimbursement, or your personal items back. which would you choose, being shot by your own countrymen, or by your enemy?

"-What are you fighting for? Because some Prince died?"
this is the point. they all didn't hate each other. the war was just started by the big wigs, and they got the short end of the stick.

again, chivalry. dogfighting airplanes really couldn't do much past dogfighting unless they had ground spotting equipment, like charts, binoculars, and flares. and the bombs they could carry were VERY small, often dropped out of the cockpit by hand.
and parachutes weren't invented yet. so, is shooting an unarmed, helpless man down to a drawn out and terrible death really worth it, especially in that age?

A lot of people believed in a fair fight back then. Killing an unarmed man was not fair.


"-In the middle of a battle at Christmas, they were all killing each other and then this German guy started singing silent night. Everybody stopped firing, and walked up to each other and hugged and shook hands and then went back to their trenches. Next day, they go kill each other again."

Because the soldiers were human. The only thing they wanted was to stop shooting, go back home to their families, and have a good Christmas. They figure they can stop the bloodshed for a few hours.


"-What are you fighting for? Because some Prince died?"

Germany, the technical inciter of World War I [they urged Austria-Hungary to attack Serbia], had been itching for war for years. The Prince's death only created a good excuse.

Really, WWI was the last "classical" war. So really honor and all that still was around, like wars of old. That all changed with WWII and the mini-wars leading up to WWII. Heck, now soldiers go and shoot up innocent villages.

Also, the Christmas cease-fire in most areas lasted for almost two weeks. In some areas the peace lasted for over a month. If high command did not order everyone to go back to fighting, the war would have ended then and there.

And to think, WWI was single handedly started by a 15 y/o teen named Gavrillo Princip.

To a certain degree, WWI was started over some bad directions and a sandwich.

True, true. My teacher told us that Franz Ferdinand and them didn't mean to drive towards that sandwich shop and whatever. So Gavrillo Princip was in the shop and he took the opportunity to shoot the heir and his wife.

because after WWI the only country that didn't really cut their military was Germany and Adolf started spreading anti-Allies propaganda and got Germany all riled up then committed genocide against Jews as well as blitzkrieg every damn weaker country around Germany including France
have to admit, he was a good war leader if he managed to do that for about half a decade
also u know Mussolini and Japan's Pacific stuff
hell, the Allies might have lost the war if they didn't win the battle at Guadalcanal

if my memory serves correctly, knights and armies would sack villages of their opponent to cripple their food production and stuff but would take as many villagers as they could prisoner
because I'm pretty sure there was something about killing nonsoldiers in the chivalry code or something

people were still pretty barbaric near the end of the roman empire
just imagine walking around your city
AND SUDDENLY
A bunch of boats are in the near waters. But these aren't trade boats or anything. No, you recognize these boats, something about the figureheads... Your city is now under attack by Vikings who proceed to ransack the town and take any and all values religious building or not.

In WWII, a German Ace was about to shoot down a B-17 full of rookies, but decided not to, because he saw that they where damaged beyond repair by artillery.
