Remembrance Day, the day the First World War ended.
On November 11, 1918, the termination of the Armistice of Compiegne, which meant the surrender of Germany, ended the First World War, which had lasted four years and three months.
Almost 10 million people died in the fire, and about 20 million were injured. Humanity has never known such losses before.
An equally significant result of the war was a radical redrawing of the political map of the world. Germany was forced to unilaterally deploy its army, hand over its aviation and navy to the victors, give up its colonies, as well as Alsace-Lorraine, the provinces of Poland and several other territories, and undertook to pay huge reparations to compensate for the damages of the war.
Its allies, Austria-Hungary and Turkey, were disbanded. Bulgaria survived as a country, but suffered significant territorial losses. The last continental empires in Europe - German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian - perished in the conflagration of the First World War.
The Ottoman Empire collapsed in Asia. Countries celebrate this event: Russia - Memorial Day, USA - Veterans Day, Canada - Memorial Day, Belgium - Armistice Day.
