Two great conflicts across two generations helped to change the European【62】______about war.Germany,once the most warlike country in Europe,is now probably more in favor of peace than any other.One major【63】______of war in Europe was rivalry(竞争) between France and Germany.The European Union was specifically formed to【64】______that rivalry.
The last British veteran(老兵) of the Somme battle died in 2005,aged 108.And the WWI is passing out of【65】______and into history.But for anyone who wants to understand how Europeans think,it is still important to know a little about the terrible events of July 1,1916.
