On the 11th of November at 11:00am all the countries who fought in World War 1 signed a treaty which would eventually bring WW1 to an end. This treaty forced the Germans to surrender most of their military weaponry and it sealed the Central powers defeat. The soldiers were delighted to hear the news and the people who live in the allied nations celebrated by doing many things like marching. Families were happy to get confirmation that they will not lose any of their loved ones. The Armistice was signed in a secluded area in Compiègne, France. WW1 was a deadly conflict resulting in 16 million deaths. Due to the many lives lost many were not identified. To commemorate the unidentified fallen soldiers there are Unknown Warrior tombs around the world which people can go to and show respect. It has nearly been 100 years since the end of World War 1. To mark the special occasion, the New Zealand Reserve bank brought out a 50 cent coin which has details that represents World War 1. Interestingly the first ever Armistice Commemoration was held in Buckingham Palace in 1919 and World War 1 was started through an unfortunate assassination of the Austrian Archduke, Franz Ferdinand. For this activity I have worked with Sanujan.
