Das Schlachtfeld der Somme nahe des Dörfchens La Boiselle, Nordfrankreich. Hier massakrierten sich ab 1916 Soldaten aus der ganzen Welt.

It is quite a discordant echo, 1917 to 2025.

World War I 1914-1917: The British Empire (including Canada) and France defend in a horrible war of attrition against German Imperial forces.

April 6, 1917: Congress declares war on Germany after Americans are outraged when an intercepted communiqué between Germany and Mexico suggests Germany help Mexico retake American states lost decades earlier and Germany sinks American shipping.

April 9-12: Canada fights its first massive battle as a unified fighting force, 97,000 strong, at Vimy Ridge, and wins at supreme cost, 10,000 casualties.

…….

April 6 2025: After two months of increasingly authoritarian actions, wild tariff policy and threats to destroy or absorb the economies or nations of Panama, Greenland or Canada, President Trump’s advisors make it clear the world will face tariffs not seen in decades, the markets plunge in anticipation, world leaders scramble, and non citizens in the USA are targeted for detention and deportation.

April 9 2025 - The United States launches a trade war. Ending the era of multilateralism, trade and cooperation that Woodrow Wilson started when he brought the USA into World War I and FDR continued in World War II.

The USA Giveth and Taketh Away.

Der Zwergstaat Andorra erklärte dem Deutschen Reich 1914 in Solidarität mit Frankreich den Krieg. Nach Kriegsende wurde er im Vertrag von Versailles allerdings vergessen - ein Friedensvertrag mit der BRD wurde erst 1958 unterzeichnet.

Die Redewendung "08/15" ("Nullachtfünfzehn") bedeutet "nichts besonderes" oder "ganz gewöhnlich". Der Begriff geht auf das gleichnamige Maschinengewehr im ersten Weltkrieg zurück, welches routinemäßig von deutschen Soldaten verwendet wurde.

Today In Labor History April 3, 1917: After the U.S. declared war, sailors, escorted by police, destroyed the IWW building in Kansas City. The action inspired similar attacks in Detroit, Duluth and other towns that had a large IWW presence.
