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.
