With armed conflict once again on their continent, many European leaders marked the end of World War I, 106 years ago, with warnings that liberty — often taken for granted —must be cherished and defended.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, both leaders of nuclear-armed nations, attended a ceremony at Paris's iconic Arc de Triomphe, where wreaths lay under a milky light and the eternal flame flickered in honour of the unknown French soldiers who perished in the first global conflict. That war killed almost 10 million soldiers.
