When ended the First World War? What is the Transition Day?

The memory day, which will take place annually on November 11th, arose as a day from the day of change that occurred on the same day.

The fight for World War I officially stopped at 11:00 on November 11, 1918, when French allies and Germans signed the bans.

The Peace Agreement entered into force "at the eleventh hour of the eleventh eleventh month".

This means that this Sunday at noon 11:00 will be exactly 100 years since the end of the First World War.

To celebrate the centenary, the National Remembrance Service will be held in Chenotaf, Whitehall, London.

Starting at 11:00, the service will honor the British Commonwealth's military and civilians who have died in both World Wars and other conflicts.

The Royal British Legion's retreat from Wellington's barracks will be at. 10:00.

Two minutes of silence at noon 11:00 will begin after the weapon shooting weapon's royal effort on the horse guard's parade.

Where else is the Interruption Day?

The suspension is a public holiday in France and Belgium.

For many countries, such as Britain, the day of the change coincides with Remembrance Day.

Germany celebrates the National Day of Remembrance, but on Sunday, the closest to November 16, is watching its holy day, called Volkstrauertage.

Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain and Norway did not mention the Interruption Day, as they were neutral in the First World War.

In the United States, Americans have their veteran day, called the memorial day.
