hi first post here.

Sorry to disagree with you but the terms were not agreed in early October. Negotiations began in early October 1918 but Britain and France objected to some of Wilson's terms, as did the Kaiser having to abdicate.

The Armistice was formally signed at 5am on november 11th, but the French wanted a furhter 6 hours in which to inform all their troops, hence the ceasefire taking place from 11am. It was not done for dramatic effect.

what did you guys used to call this day? It has always been Armsitice Day in the UK.
