The author of this article presents information, in a cynical tone, about Armistice Sunday. From 1914 to 1918 almost the whole civilized Christian world was at war. Thirty nations were fighting on two sides. It was the World War I. The people in these countries spent $250,000,000,000 and the lives of ten million soldiers in these four years. Besides these ten million soldiers who lost their lives, 3,500,000 people who stayed at home died too. On November 11, 1918, the German generals gave up the war. Two hundred and fifty billion dollars had been spent to kill thirteen million people in four years.
