The main character in the book "Truce: The Day the Soldiers Stopped Fighting" by Jim Murphy is not an individual character, but rather the story itself, focusing on the soldiers who participated in the Christmas Truce of 1914 during World War I. The book explores this extraordinary event where soldiers from both sides of the war laid down their arms and came together in a brief moment of peace.

They were shot by Japanese. (Now we have a truce with them) They also caught diseases. Pearl Harbor, something in Hawaii, had a billion U.S soldiers, and the Japanese bombed them. Millions died.
In World War 1, there was an unofficial "truce" between the two sides on the western front, to let each other eat their breakfast in peace. This led to the Christmas Truce of 1914.
The Christmas Truce of 1914 was an extraordinary event during World War I, where soldiers from opposing sides, primarily British and German troops, temporarily ceased hostilities to celebrate Christmas together. On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, they engaged in caroling, exchanged gifts, and even played football in the no-man's land between their trenches. This spontaneous truce highlighted a moment of shared humanity amidst the horrors of war, demonstrating the soldiers' desire for peace, even if only fleeting. It stands as a poignant reminder of the power of goodwill and camaraderie in times of conflict.
"Truce in the Forest" is a story that takes place during World War II. Independent of each other, some Allied soldiers and German soldiers showed up and knocked on the door of a cabin. The Allied soldiers showed up first and one was wounded. The woman invited them in, even though they were the enemy, and offered to feed them. Later, when the German soldiers knocked, she let them in too, but told them there would be no trouble. She took their weapons, then took the weapons of the Allied soldiers and fed them all. The conflict in the story is the fact that the soldiers were on differing sides. Under different circumstances, they likely would have tried to kill each other.
