Angel loved history. One day, she found a magical book in her attic. When she opened it, she was transported back to the year 1914. She found herself in a small village in Europe, just as World War 1 was about to begin.

A Journey Back in Time

A kind old man explaining the start of World War 1 to Angel in a small European village

Angel met a kind old man who explained how the war started. He told her that many countries were angry and wanted more power. One day, a very important person was hurt, and that made everyone even angrier. Soon, many countries started fighting each other. Fighting hurts people and isn’t a good way to solve problems. 

The Start of the War

Angel saw that life was very hard during the war. People had to be very brave and help each other. Soldiers fought in trenches, which were deep holes in the ground. Families missed their loved ones and hoped for the war to end soon.

Life During the War

After four long years, the war finally ended in 1918. Angel learned that people signed a special paper called a treaty to stop fighting. Everyone was happy that peace had returned. Angel closed the magical book and found herself back in 2024, feeling grateful for the lessons she learned. We can help those affected by war by being kind, helping others, and learning to solve problems without fighting.
