I Love History
World War One ended 100 years ago today, at 11:11 a.m. on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, Central European Time.

@TexChik It was clever how they decoded that the Armistice would be 11/11/18 on the 11th hour. And yes, that was classy and eloquent. History was not lost on them. And neither was etiquette.
To me it is Armistice Day, as that is what I learned it as a child. It has nothing to do with any other war.

Was the 11:11 on 11-11 thing planned or coincidental?

@SW-User It wasn't even at 11:11. It was at 11:00 a.m., six hours after the negotiations were sucessful. A lot of people still died in those six hours. As the negotiations had started a few days earlier, the date is purely coincidental.
