powers which included Austria-Hungary, Germany, and the Ottoman Empire were formed, and the Allies composed of Great Britain, France, and Russia formed on the opposing side. These alliances turned a small battle between two countries into a worldwide catastrophe. During the end of World War II the leaders of France, England, and the United states shaped a formal…

Their soldiers were not honoured or recognized, as in the case of the allies, even though they had also been equally brave and risked everything for their country, and now they could no longer fit in.…

Tour Reflection Going into this tour, I’m pretty sure I was one of the few choir members who had actually stepped foot into Germany before, since I had traveled their once before with my mother and grandmother. When I had gone here before (in middle school), I had loved the country, and so even though we were only going to be in Germany for five days, I was most excited for this part of the trip.
