On the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month of 1918, World War I ended with the signing of an armistice agreement between the Allies and Germany. During this terrible war, there were nearly nine million soldiers killed and 21 million wounded. Civilians had to bear a heavy toll too, with at least five million dying from side effects of war such as starvation, disease or exposure to the elements.
