Signing the Armistice |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| On November 11, 1918, representatives of France, Germany, and Britain met in a train car outside the French town of Rethondes and signed the armistice that ended World War I. Germany’s unconditional surrender ended one of the bloodiest wars in history. The same train car was the site, 22 years later, of the French surrender to Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany during World War II. | ||||||
