How Did The Armistice Day Affect Germany
An armistice (ceasefire) came into effect at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. The name "Armistice Day" was given to the date when a truce was declared and fighting ceased.

Strictly speaking the war ended for Germany with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919. (That was exactly five years after Austria-Hungary's Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo).

At 11 a.m. on November 11, 1918 a ceasefire came into effect with Germany. A formal state of war between the two sides persisted for another seven months, until signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919.

A final peace treaty was signed between the Allied Powers and the country that would shortly become the Republic

    The pact of Versailles was fairly negative to Germany on the grounds that it destroyed their economy even more. The terms for the treaty had been for Germany to take responsibility for their actions. The treaty of Versailles called to take away German territories and colonies, reduce Germany's armed forces, make them disarm and to also have them pay reparations to the allies for the damage caused by the war. Germany’s economy was already in a bad shape and the 6,600 million pounds they had to pay for reparations along with their lost territories wasn’t going to make it any easier. The loss of overseas colonies was a major punch to Germany's pride as Britain and France increased theirs and even new countries were created. Germany had the Polish…

    The Treaty of Versailles marked the end of World War I in 1919. Germany and their allies were blamed for WWI.

In the 1920s, Adolf Hitler became the leader of the Nazi Party in Germany and began rising in power. He became the Fuhrer in 1934.…

    On the 28th on June 1914, the world descended into chaos, forced into all-out war through hasty alliances and aggressive manoeuvres. 5 years and 37 million casualties later, a truce was made. The 28th of January in 1919 saw the Palace of Versailles play host to a meeting of the world’s superpowers. Woodrow Wilson of the United States, Lloyd George of the United Kingdom, and Georges Clemenceau of France were all present to re-draw the map of the world, introducing a highly controversial treaty that protected their interests, but pointed all blame to the ‘Triple Alliance,’ consisting of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy.…

    The Treaty of Versailles brought World War I to an end. It was signed on 28 June 1919 in Versailles. The main structure in the treaty was for Germany and her allies to accept the responsibility for causing all the “loss and damage" during the war. The clause of the treaty stated Germany as the antagonist in the war and therefore made Germany responsible for making amends to the Allied nations in payment for the losses and damage they had sustained in the war. The Treaty called for the formation of a League of Nations in which the promise of mutual security would avoid another major world war…
