I'm not sure why they decided to change the name of this day instead of using D day, VE day or VJ day



Armistice Day was the formal end of World War 1 whereas D day, VE day, & VJ day were all World War 2. D day was the beginning of the landings in Normandy during Operations Neptune and Overlord, VE day was actually two days (May 7 & 8, 1945) when Germany's surrender was accepted by the allies, and VJ day (also called VP day) was August 14 & 15, 1945 when the allies formally accepted the Japanese surrender. Only the USA lumps them all together as "Veterans Day".
