The Arc witnessed grief and victory alike — a threshold for civic emotion.


WWI

  • Post‑1918 mourning: A nation sought focus.
  • 1920 interment: Unknown Soldier — anonymity honors all fallen.

WWII

  • Occupation: Axis weighed under subjugation.
  • Liberation: Plaza reclaimed as civic space; flags restored.
