nov 11, 1918 - Armistice

Description:

The Armistice was an agreement signed by representatives of France, Great Britain and Germany. It was an agreement to end fighting as a prelude to peace negotiations. The Treaty of Versailles signed six months later would act as the peace treaty between the nations. Although "armistice" is used as a term to describe any agreement to end fighting in wars, "The Armistice" commonly refers to the agreement to end the fighting of the First World War. The Allies (Britain, France, and the US) won the war, and the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary) lost the war.
