The Armistice Agreement ending World War I was signed on November 11, 1918.

The agreement signed between the Allies and Germany in a railroad car outside Compiégne, France, and later coming to force in Paris that same day, ended World War I. The fighting on land, sea, and air stopped.

The agreement required German forces to withdraw behind the Rhine, and the Allies to occupy the Rhineland and bridgeheads further east, the release of Allied prisoners of war and interned civilians, but no release of German prisoners, eventual reparations, among others.
