People celebrate along Broadway near Times Square in New York as news of the armistice spreads on November 11, 1918 (© AP)(1918) The 'war to end all wars' has itself finally ended
Germany and the Allies sign an armistice to end the war at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month. Over 16 million people have died in four years of fighting. The First World War is described as "the war to end all wars" due to the bloody devastation. This day will hereafter be known as Armistice Day.
An armistice is a formal agreement of warring parties to stop fighting. It is not necessarily the end of a war, since it may constitute only a cessation of hostilities while an attempt is made to negotiate a lasting peace. It is derived from the Latin arma, meaning "arms" and -stitium, meaning "a stopping".
The announcing of the armistice on November 11, 1918, was the occasion for a monster celebration in Philadelphia
The announcing of the armistice on November 11, 1918, was the occasion for large celebrations in the allied nations.

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
