The end of the First World War was confirmed by the signing of the armistice between the participants of the First World War (the Entente countries and Germany) on November 11, 1918.
The signing, which means the surrender of Germany, took place in the train car of Marshal Ferdinand Fuchs in the forest of Compiègne (in the French department of Picardy near the city of Compiègne). The English admiral Roslin Wemis and the commander of the Entente forces, Marshal Foch, received the German delegation led by Major General Detlef von Winterfeldt. At 5:10 in the morning the agreement was signed. The ceasefire came into force at 11:00 Paris time. 101 Slavs were shot - the last divisions of the First World War.
