Did poppies grow during or after world war 1?
Poppies became widely associated with World War I due to their growth in the battlefields of Flanders, where the soil was disturbed by war. They bloomed in the aftermath of the conflict, symbolizing the sacrifice of soldiers and the resilience of life. The poignant image of poppies in war-torn landscapes inspired the famous poem "In Flanders Fields," further solidifying their connection to the war and its aftermath. This led to the establishment of Remembrance Day, where poppies are worn in honor of those who served.
Why were poppies worn in World War 2?
Soldiers didn't wear poppies in WW2. The tradition of wearing a red poppy button originates from the 1917 poem "In Flander's Fields", by John MacRae. He wrote a poem about the carnage he saw during the Great War, and in the first line, says:"In Flander's Fields, the poppies blow, between the crosses, row on row."In honor of MacRae and his poem, the poppy has become a symbol for Remembrance Day in Canada - a day where all soldiers fallen in battle are remembered and mourned.
Why are Poppy's used?
I'm assuming that what you meant to ask was: "Why are poppies used as a symbol of Remembrance Day and the horrors of the Great War"? Poppies are special, botanically, in that they usually only bloom on 'disturbed ground'. The bombed and shelled battlefields were churned many times over by shellfire and explosions. when the battles subsided, especially in Belgium, poppies bloomed in abundance marking the thousands of killed soldiers who had been sacrificed on, what many feel, were futile and politically invalid pursuits.
