when was world war one ended? and for what reason?

Answer 1

The collapse of the Central Powers came swiftly. Bulgaria was the first to sign an armistice on September 29, 1918. Faced with the opening of a second front in the Austrian rear, Ludendorff and Hindenberg demanded that the government pursue a negotiated peace. On October 3, Germany and Austria-Hungary appealed to President Wilson for an immediate armistice. The sailors of Germany’s High Seas Fleet mutinied starting October 29, and rebellion quickly spread throughout western Germany. On October 30, the Ottoman Empire capitulated. On November 4, the Armistice with Austria was granted to take effect at three o’clock on the afternoon. Austria and Hungary signed separate armistices following the overthrow of the Habsburg monarchy and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Following the outbreak of the German Revolution, a republic was proclaimed on November 9, marking the end of the monarchy. The Kaiser fled the next day to the neutral Netherlands, which granted him political asylum (see Weimar Republic for details).

On November 11, an armistice with Germany was signed in a railroad carriage at Compiègne in France where Germans had previously dictated terms to France, ending the Franco-Prussian War in 1871.

At 11:00 on November 11, 1918, a ceasefire came into effect and the opposing armies on the Western Front began to withdraw from their positions. Canadian George Lawrence Price is traditionally regarded as the last soldier killed in the Great War: he was shot by a German sniper and died at 10:58.

A formal state of war between the two sides persisted for another seven months until it was finally ended by the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919 with Germany, and the following treaties with Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and The Ottoman Empire signed at St. Germain, Trianon, Neuilly and Sèvres. However, the latter treaty with the Ottoman Empire was followed by strife (the Turkish Independence War) and a final peace treaty was signed between the Allied Powers and the country that would shortly become the Republic of Turkey, at Lausanne on July 24, 1923.

Answer 3

World war I was over the November 11, 1918 - which is a bank holiday in France.
The reason to end this war was economical, humanitarian, and because it has been a total slaughter on both side -- the USA came to the rescue and Germany was running out of resources and many mutiny happened on their sides - basically Germany had two ways out of the War—total annihilation or an armistice.

Answer 4

This is the first war where American saw it self as a defender of democracy in the world outside our bourders. Nov 11, 1918, Germany finally surrendered and so did her allies. After that the "Treaty Of Versailles" was signed. The treaty was negotiated by the United States, Great Britain, France, and Italy; Germany was excluded from the conference as was Russia. By the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was required to abolish compulsory military service; to reduce its army to 100,000; to demilitarize all the territory on the left bank of the Rhine River; to stop all importation, exportation, and nearly all production of war material; to limit its navy to 24 ships, with no submarines, the naval personnel not to exceed 15,000; and to abandon all military and naval aviation by October 1, 1919. Russia was forced togive up her Baltic Republics: Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia
