Why 11/11/18 @11:00?

As many of you, if not all know, World War One ended as the armistice was signed by Germany on November 11th, 1918 at 11:00 a.m. (11/11/18 @11:00). Does anyone know the REAL significance behind all the 11's in the date?

That's just the way it happened. Maybe they chose the hour of the day, but the rest was because they wanted the war over and tried to do that as fast as they reasonably could.

they needed a day or so to spread the word, and it was easy to remember the 11th hour of 11th day of the 11th month.
