What happened on the: 11 th hour of the 11 th day of the 11 th Month of 1918? Why is that still significant today?

11 a.m., November 11, 1918 The Armistice is Signed!

“…[F]irst of all, it must be a peace without victory. It is not pleasant to say this. I beg that I may be permitted to put my own interpretation upon it and that it may be understood that no other interpretation was in my thought. I am seeking only to face realities and to face them without soft concealment's (keeping something private.) Victory would mean peace forced upon the loser, a victor's terms imposed upon the vanquished. It would be accepted in humiliation, under duress, at an intolerable sacrifice, and would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which terms of peace would rest, not permanently but only as upon quicksand. Only a peace between equals can last. Only a peace the very principle of which is equality and a common participation in a common benefit. The right state of mind, the right feeling between nations, is as necessary for a lasting peace as is the just settlement of vexed questions of territory or of racial and national allegiance. President Wilson's Speech to Congress (and to the World), January, According to President Wilson, if we allow Great Britain and France to have a traditional Victory, what would it look like? 2..What does President Wilson imply when he says "terms of peace would rest, not permanently but only as upon quicksand." 3..According to President Wilson, how should the Treaty to end WWI be conducted? 4..Make a prediction: How are each of the three main countries (Great Britain, France, Germany) going to receive Wilson's proposal of a "Peace without Victory?"
