how did world war 1 come to an end?

Answer 1

Armistice

Answer 2

The British army joined the French, pursuing a weary campaign of sniping at the enemy from the trenches, interrupted by occasional forays over the trench walls and coming face to face with the enemy. The Americans joined the trenches in 1917, and brought in tanks in an attempt to break the deadlock. After four years of dogged fighting and a total of 10 million deaths, it became clear that the German army could not carry on the fight. The Germans were running out of materiel, facing starvation at home, and frustrated soldiers were deserting. In October 1918, the German generals asked for a cease fire.

There were long and protracted negotiations. The Germans would not surrender and the Allies, British French and Americans, had fought too long to accept that kind of a truce where the other side remained fully armed. They needed the Germans to disarm, and demanded severe conditions for an armistice. On 10th November 1918, the German government collapsed and the Kaiser abdicated, leaving the German army no choice but to accept the Allies terms. It was mutually agreed that each side would simultaneously cease fire the next day, 11th November, at noon, German time, corresponding to 11-00 A.M. British time.

At the treaty of Versailles, 1919, the Allies insisted that the German state, forfeit a considerable amount of territory, in the hope that an emaciated Germany would not be able to go to war again. This hope was thwarted in 1939, when the Germans precipitated the Second World War.
