It seems when we had the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War a couple of years ago, the focus was on reflection and remembering. Why, with the recent 75th anniversary of VE day, was it mostly a celebration and party? Especially from a UK point of view where we were on the 'winning' side for both?
A follow-up/add question.
Is it just my perception that the WWI is more "a thing" in UK rather than other countries?
