World War I is the classic example of how unpleasant war can be when the prevailing military tactic was to run en masse towards well defended enemy positions simply to be mown down in your tracks in a hail of lead resulting in millions of bodies piling up and decaying in the fields of war. With so many bodies in such bad condition it was either impossible or impractical to positively identify each individual let alone return every single body back to relatives.

abstract	World War I is the classic example of how unpleasant war can be when the prevailing military tactic was to run en masse towards well defended enemy positions simply to be mown down in your tracks in a hail of lead resulting in millions of bodies piling up and decaying in the fields of war. With so many bodies in such bad condition it was either impossible or impractical to positively identify each individual let alone return every single body back to relatives. At the end of this war after nothing had been achieved a great many families of the dead really started to question the benefits of war particularly when not even a little bit of the body of their loved one had been returned for burial. This type of unrest could have led to an uprising and the possibility that the masses would refuse to go to war again so the military came up with the cracking idea of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
