On November 11, 1918, in Compiegne, France, allied and German representatives met in a railroad car to sign the armistice. The document officially went into effect at 11:00A.M., the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
The Germans didn't like the idea of an armistice, but knew it was needed. The allies were likely to take a more conciliatory approach when compared to the likes of Georges Clemenceau and Lloyd George.
