This is one of those historical photos that I just LOVE! It reminds me that the people in those black and white photos were real people…and they had real emotions and real experiences. If you had fought long and hard in World War I and saw many soldiers and friends die, wouldn’t you be ready for the war to be officially over? Wouldn’t that be the day you were waiting for? This is a picture of military officers and politicians standing on furniture so that they can witness the signing of the Treaty of Versailles! How cool! Share it with your students when you talk about World War I.
