Armistice Day: World War I Ends at the 11th Hour
Allies and Germany signed the Armistice of Compiègne at 11 a.m. on November 11, 1918, halting the fighting in western Europe and driving German troops back behind their own borders. This agreement, drafted largely by French Marshal Ferdinand Foch, delivered a decisive victory to the Allies while setting the stage for six months of negotiations that would eventually produce the Treaty of Versailles.
