The ceasefire was in fact a German capitulation, because its conditions put an end to any possibility of Germany continuing the war. Similar agreements have already been signed by Bulgaria, Turkey and Austria. However, the peace treaties that officially ended the First World War were not signed until 1919. Two days later, Germany signed the ceasefire and the weapons were silent. The fighting ended at 11 a.m. on the eleventh day of the eleventh month. This is called the day of the ceasefire – the day Germany signed a ceasefire (a peace agreement) that ended the fighting. The First World War ended on November 11, 1918, and was also known as the „Great War“ and „World War to End All Wars.“ The ceasefire is a formal agreement to end the fighting. The First World War ended because the Germans were in fact struggling with money, soldiers, food and war equipment. On 21 March 1918, Germany launched its offensive attack against British troops.

The last German attack was on 15 July 1918. The last Allied power headed for the German border on 17 October 1918. The alliance of central power is collapsing. On November 9, 1918, Emperor William II was forced to cross the border into the Netherlands. As the war continued, other countries joined both sides and the fighting took place not only in the trenches in Europe, but also in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. In the early morning hours of November 11, Erzberger and Foch met for final negotiations. According to Lowry, the German envoy did his best to convince Foch to make the agreement less severe. Foch made some small changes, including that the Germans kept some of their weapons.

Finally, the agreement was signed just before dawn. The government called on the United States to a ceasefire – an agreement to end the fighting – and the head of the German government, Emperor William, resigned on November 9, 1918. New weapons and technologies have been used to allow for new fighting that has caused destruction on a scale never seen before. One that was made to the Sheffield Independent the day after the fighting ended. The agreement has been called the Treaty of Versailles. Germany was shocked because, in the meantime, fighting continued in many regions, when armed groups pursued nationalist, revolutionary or counter-revolutionary objectives. Russia was torn apart by a civil war that demanded more Russian broadcasting life than the world war. General John Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Force, did not accept the ceasefire.

As a result, he gave no instructions to his commanders to suspend any further offensive for the remaining hours until 11 a.m. This gave individual commanders leeway to determine their actions over the past few hours, and in some neighbourhoods, heavy fighting took place until 11 a.m., which was difficult to stop.
