Following the outbreak of the German Revolution, a republic was proclaimed on 9 November. The Kaiser fled to the Netherlands. On 11 November an armistice with Germany was signed in a railroad carriage at Compiègne. At 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918 — the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month — a ceasefire came into effect. 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 signing of the Treaty of Versailles with Germany on 28 June 1919. Later treaties with Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and The Ottoman Empire were signed. 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 24 July 1923.
Some war memorials date the end of the war as being when the Versailles treaty was signed in 1919; by contrast, most commemorations of the wars end concentrate on the armistice of 11 November 1918. Legally the last formal peace treaties were not signed until 1923. Some also treat the Versailles treaty as the prelude to World War II.
In short, it started on the 28th of June,1914 and ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year 1918.

Most of what was said above is correct. World War 1 started in July 1914.
Italy switched sides in 1916.
Russia withdrew in 1917 after the Oct revolution
The US entered in 1917
Hostilies (combat operations) stopped Nov 11, 1918.
Treaty of Versialle signed in 1919 - Biggest cause of WW II because of unfair treatment of Germany.

Started in 1914 with the Assasination of Arche Duke Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo(present day Bosnia).
It ended(and I am disappointed in you all!) On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. How can you ever forget that!
