This Day in History


90 years ago, the Allies and Central Powers sign an Armistice to end World War I. It was signed at 11:00 (on 11/11) on a railcar outside CompiƩgne, France.
What I didn't know (until today):
  • America celebrated this day as Armistice Day until May 26, 1954, when President Eisenhower signed into law the celebration of Veteran's Day.
