In World War 2 a lot of soldiers were burned, lost in action or found in pieces so they were unrecognizable to anybody since they didn't have DNA testing back then. So instead of putting them in different places they took all the unrecognizable soldiers and created a single tomb called the tomb of the unknown soldier because all the soldiers are unknown.
