1918 - The armistice was signed between the Allies and Germany in Compiègne, France, effectively ending World War I.
"When the days of rejoicing are over,
When the flags are stowed safely away,
They will dream of another wild 'War to End Wars'
And another wild Armistice Day."
[Robert Graves: poem, 'Armistice Day' - 11 Nov 1918]
