World War 1 officially ended on November 11, 1918, when an armistice was signed between the Allies (primarily France, Great Britain, Russia, Italy, Japan, and the United States) and Germany. The armistice took effect at 11:00 AM, and the fighting ceased.
How many died?
The total number of deaths caused by World War 1 is estimated to be around 17 million people. This includes both military and civilian casualties. The vast majority of deaths were caused by disease, starvation, and exposure to the elements, rather than by combat.
The war had a devastating impact on Europe, particularly on the countries that were directly involved in the fighting. Millions of people were left homeless, and the economies of many countries were in ruins. The war also led to the collapse of several empires, including the Ottoman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
World War 1 was a major turning point in history. It marked the end of the old order in Europe and the beginning of a new era. The war also had a profound impact on the way that people thought about war and peace.
