Armistice Day
November 11th was originally called Armistice Day because it was on this day in 1918 that the First World War came to an end. The armistice was signed at 11:00 a.m. on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year. After four years of brutal trench fighting, 9 million soldiers had died and 21 million were wounded. It was called "The War to End All Wars" because it was the bloodiest war in history up to that point, and it made many people so sick of war that they hoped no war would ever break out again.
