Compiegne was the place in France where Germany officially agreed to the armistice that ended the war. It took place in one of the cars in the train belonging to the French general, Foch. In 1940, when Germany defeated France in World War II, Hitler made the French sign their surrender in the same train car that the Germans had surrendered in in 1918 (the French had made it into a memorial). Afterward, Hitler had the train destroyed except for the one car, which was destroyed later as Germany lost that war too.

Campiegne!
The Armistice was signed in a railroad car on a siding in the Compiegne Forest. The train car was put in a museum, but Hitler had it hauled out when the Germans conquered France and made the French sign their WWII surrender to Germany in the same train car. In order to avoid possibly being forced to sign another humiliating document in this car, the Germans dynamited the car near the end of WWII. There are several memorials in the Forest, including a replica train car, where the Armistice was signed.
They could no longer afford to keep fighting the war, especially now that the US had joined the war against them.

Germany was convinced to sign an armistice and end World War I due to a combination of factors, including military defeats on the battlefield, economic hardships, and internal unrest.
Germany signed an armistice in 1918 because they were facing military defeat in World War I and their resources were depleted. The armistice ended the fighting and allowed for negotiations to begin for a peace treaty.
An armistice, or truce agreement, that ended World War I. This was NOT the Treaty of Versailles. November 11 is now called Armistice Day.
