On Tuesday, many presidents and representatives of Europe and the world held a remembrance speech, at Fort Douaumont where more than 300,000 men were slaughtered for over 300 days during a battle. Many veterans from other wars came too. Tuesday was the 90th anniversary of the end of World War 1. There are not alot of veterans of WW1 but the few that are still alive are all over 100 years old. A German veteran became 107 years old this year and a French one aged to 110 years old. But the oldest one is 112 years old. The whole war situation changed in the year 1917 when the United States joined Britain and France. In 1918 Germany signed the Treaty of Versailes. In the War, over 20.000.000 people died.
