Armistice Day (which overlaps with Remembrance Day and Veterans Day) is celebrated every year on 11 November to commemorate the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germanyat Compiègne, France, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at eleven o'clock in the morning—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918.

The Armistice with Germany occurred on November 11, 1918. This agreement effectively ended the fighting in World War I, leading to the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front. The armistice laid the groundwork for the subsequent peace negotiations and the Treaty of Versailles in 1919.
The armistice signed on November 11, 1918, marked the end of fighting in World War I and was a significant turning point for Germany. It meant the cessation of hostilities but also signaled Germany's defeat and led to a period of turmoil and political upheaval within the country. The terms of the armistice and subsequent peace negotiations would impose harsh conditions on Germany, contributing to economic hardship and political instability in the years that followed. Ultimately, the armistice set the stage for the Treaty of Versailles and a profound transformation in Germany's international standing.
The Secretary of State for Germany that signed the armistice was Matthias Erzberger. It was signed on November 11,1918 and effectively ended the war, though the Treaty of Versailles would make it official. He was later assassinated by a terrorist organization for signing the armistice.
