Can anyone please tell me how World War ended!
Did the Central Powers surrender.
I need particular information on Germany - did they surrender? When did they surrender? An exact date would be great if anyone has it?
Many thanks!

Check out the website www.firstworldwar.com It has a wealth of information you might find useful. Here are a few facts from that site:
October 3-4,1918; Germany and Austria send peace notes to US President Woodrow Wilson requesting an armistice
November 7-11, 1918; Germany negotiates an armistice with the Allies in Ferdinand Foch's railway carriage headquarters at Compiegne. During this time the kaiser abdicates & flees Germany for exile in Holland.
November 10, 1918; German republic is founded
November 11, 1918; Armistice day; fighting ceases at 11am
January 18, 1919; Start of peace negotiations in Paris
May 7 - June 28, 1919; Treaty of Versailles drafted and signed

World War I ended at 11 am on 11/11/1918 with an armistice being signed between the Central Powers and the Allies. Since Germany was being blamed by ther French and English for WWI which is false , it has to be noted that part of the armistice was that Germany unconditionally surrendered to the Allies on the date and time mentioned above. At the Treaty of Versailles in July 1919 this became official.

World War I Ended With the Treaty of Versailles
June 28, 1919
World War I (1914-1918) was finally over. This first global conflict had claimed from 9 million to 13 million lives and caused unprecedented damage. Germany had formally surrendered on November 11, 1918, and all nations had agreed to stop fighting while the terms of peace were negotiated. On June 28, 1919, Germany and the Allied Nations (including Britain, France, Italy and Russia) signed the Treaty of Versailles, formally ending the war. (Versailles is a city in France, 10 miles outside of Paris.) The United States did not sign the treaty, however, because it objected to its terms, specifically, the high price that Germany was to pay for its role as aggressor. Instead, the U.S. negotiated its own settlement with Germany in 1921. Do you know what triggered the conflict, sometimes called the "Great War"?

The Allied powers a signed an armistice or cease-fire agreement with Germany at Rethondes, France at 11am on November 11, 1918, bringing World War One to a close.
This day is known as Armistice Day or Rememberance Day.
The 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month every year.
Red poppies are worn in rememberance of the poppies of Flanders Fields and the millions of lives lost in the Great War and all armed conflicts.

I think it could be useful to give the following additional information: The armistice with Germany provided that the allies moved their troops from the west to the Rhine, and the Germans withdraw their troops to a line fifty kilometers east of the Rhine. So it was clear that if the peace negotiations should fail, the Germans would have no chance for successful military resistance.

Did someone not do their homework again?
