11 nov 1919 año - Ceasefire of Copenhagen
Descripción:
After the fall of France, Britain had clung to the belief that a decisive naval victory could break Germany and reverse the tide of the war. After the Second Battle of Jutland ended in a miserable stalemate, popular will to continue the war vanished. Germany's offer of a white peace was grimly accepted, and diplomatic feelers were put out to find a willing neutral territory to sign a ceasefire in. Denmark was deemed the most convenient, and in December the representatives of the two alliances arrived by boat in Copenhagen. The ceasefire was signed in Rosenborg Castle on the morning of Christmas Eve, bringing an end to half a decade of bloodshed.
