"Armistice Day, later known as Remembrance Day in the Commonwealth and Veterans Day in the United States, is commemorated every year on 11 November to mark the armistice signed between the #Allies of World War I and #Germany at Compiègne, France, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I".

This is an official explanation of the "Armistice Day". The reason for both of fire camps to sign the Armistice is not written in the articles of wikipedia.
The real reason for the war to stop was the Revolution, which started in May of 1917, by the russian working class and its soldiers on the front and its spreading in some other capitals of #Europe. The same time the European and US regimes were still imprisoning those who opposed the useless bloodshed of the Great War. The fear of spreading the Revolution and an unwavering stance by the Bolsheviks on ending the war were the only factors for the rest of the powers to cease the fire.
Commemorate those who really contributed to end the war, not those who signed it.
