RE: Ćelije Monastery and monuments of soldiers from past wars

I mentioned the number of victims in these wars before the First World War, because that, the great war, took the lives of almost 30% of the total population of Serbia.
Figures from 1,100,000 to 1,300,000 victims are mentioned, with 60% of that number being the male population. An awfully large number of victims.
As you say, little nations. Good thing there's someone left.

Almost a third of population of Serbian nation lost is a real disaster.
Unfortunately, the Czechs and the Serbs stood on opposite sides of the barricade at that time, although both nations were oppressed by the Austrians.
As Albert Einstein said:
"War consists in the fact that people, although they do not know each other, kill each other at the command of people who know each other very well, but do not kill each other."
He was right.
There were wars in which we, the Slavic peoples, looked at each other through the crosshairs, but I read that many Czechs were against those conflicts and that in World War I, a large number of them switched to the side of the Allies, so that in the same World War I, we fought together against the enemy, but whom we did not know...
