Armistice Day: November 11, 1918

Also known as Remembrance Day, Veterans Day, and Poppy Day, the "11th Day of the 11th Month" marks the cessation of major international hostilities of "the war to end all wars". Conflict would continue for several years and many millions more would yet die from the civil wars and independence wars left in its disintegration of governments. A major pandemic spread by the mass mobilization of militaries would further kill 10s of millions.
