11
November
Remembrance Day

The main meaning of the holiday is to commemorate the soldiers of Great Britain and the British Commonwealth who died during the First World War. On November 11, 1918, the cessation of hostilities in Europe between the countries of the Entente and the Triple Alliance was announced “at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month”, which went down in history as the First Compiègne truce, signed by representatives of Germany and the Entente from 5: 12 to 5:20. The armistice came into force at 11:00 CET, and the war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919[2]. November 11 began to be celebrated in the countries of Western Europe and the United States, first as Armistice Day. The first celebrations took place on November 10, 1919 at Buckingham Palace, and in the evening of that day, King George V hosted a banquet in honor of the President of the French Republic[3]. The following morning, official commemorations took place.
