At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the Great War ends. At 5 a.m. that morning, Germany, bereft of manpower and supplies and faced with imminent invasion, signed an armistice agreement with the Allies in a railroad car outside Compiégne, France. The First World War left nine million soldiers dead and 21 million wounded.  In Paris the following year, a treaty would be signed, but not all in Europe - or the United States for that matter approved.  Selling his own plan would be President Wilson's demise, as America turned its eyes from international affairs back to the homefront.
