All is calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914: All Is Calm Various

The Christmas truce of World War I represents a truly unique and powerful moment in history. It was, in fact, not an isolated event in Christmas 1914 but rather one of a series of widespread unofficial ceasefires only five months into the war.

At the outset of World War I, the German attack through Belgium into France had been repelled outside Paris by French and British troops at the Battle of the Marne in early September. The Germans fell back to the Aisne valley, where they prepared defensive positions. In the subsequent Battle of the Aisne, the Allied forces were unable to push through the German line, and the fighting quickly degenerated into a stalemate; neither side was willing to give ground, and both started to develop fortified systems of trenches.

By November, there was a continuous front line running from the North Sea to the Swiss frontier, occupied on both sides by armies in prepared defensive positions. Hostilities lulled as leadership on both sides reconsidered their strategies following the stalemate of the “Race to the Sea” and the indecisive result of the First Battle of Ypres. In the week leading up to December 25, French, German, and British soldiers crossed trenches to exchange seasonal greetings and talk. In some areas, men from both sides ventured into “No Man’s Land” on Christmas Eve and day to mingle and exchange food and souvenirs. There were joint burial ceremonies and prisoner swaps, with several meetings ending in a round of carols. Men even played games of football with one another, creating one of the most memorable images of the truce.

Roughly 100,000 British and German troops were involved in the unofficial truces along the Western Front, and multiple accounts exist about this rare occasion. The following year, a few units arranged ceasefires, but the truces were not nearly as widespread as in 1914, due in part to strongly worded orders prohibiting truces from the high commands on both sides. As the war dragged on, soldiers were no longer amenable to truce by 1916.

The war had become increasingly horrifying after staggering human losses suffered during the battles of the Somme and Verdun and the use of poison gas. Nonetheless, the truce continues to inspire us today with such retellings as All is Calm: the Christmas Truce of 1914, the critically acclaimed foreign film Joyeux Noel, the Pulitzer-prize winning opera Silent Night, and even the upcoming Peter Jackson film, 1917.
