大战结束了
world warⅠ drew to an end when, on 5 october 1918, the german government sent a telegram to the president of the united states requesting him to take steps for the"immediate conclusion of an armistice on land, on water, and in the air".
french actor and director sacha guitry later asked french prime minister georges clemenceau how he had heard that germany was soliciting an armistice."by telegram," he said.
"what did you say?" guitry asked.
"nothing."
"what did you do?"
clemenceau looked at guitry, hesitated, and said,"i took my head in my hands--like this--and i wept." elbows on the desk, he let his head fall into his hands.
