As he walks, he tries to recall the history, and at the same time, tries to speak about it as if he weren't actually there at the time all of this happened.

"Let's see... Well the Great War happened for a lot of reasons. Things were already tense between a great many countries. So a war started between two of them and just escalated from there as they brought all their allies in. America actually joined that one quite late, due to attacks on their merchant and passenger ships. The Treaty of Versailles was eventually signed by all parties in an effort to halt all further wars.

"One of the countries in question felt tricked into signing it, and in having to pay lots of war reparations, decided to subjugate some of its people and invade several other countries for more land, thus starting another Great War, at which point the first one was renamed to World War I and the second one to World War II."

"The American Civil War was the earliest, and happened because the north and the south of America couldn't decide whether or not they ought to own slaves. A president was elected who sought to end slavery for everyone, so there were skirmishes, and then a war started."

He pauses. "This is all an oversimplification, of course, they were long and remarkably brutal."
