World
leaders mark 100 years since end of First World War.
World leaders gathered in Paris
on November 11, 2018 to lead the global commemorations to mark 100 years since
the end of the first World War.
World War I also known as the
First World War or the 'Great War', was a global war originating in Europe that
lasted from July 28, 1914 to November 11, 1918.
Though the armistice signed on November 11 brought an end to the actual
fighting, it took six months of Allied negotiations at the Paris Peace
Conference to conclude a peace treaty.
The
Treaty of Versailles was the most important of the peace treaties
that brought World War I to an end. The Treaty ended the state of war between
Germany and the Allied Powers. It was signed on June 28, 1919 in Versailles,
exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
