Soon, negotiations start between Imperial Germany and the allies, the allies demand harsh repatriations to Germany, and Germany is forced to accept the terms, on 5:45 a.m., French time, the armistice was signed between the allies and Germany, the ceasefire was to enroll at 11:00 a.m., Paris time. unfortunately, 2,738 men still died on that day, with a very unfortunate few who became the final deaths of the war. at 11:00 a.m., the war ended, everyone in the battlefield cheered, paraded, and celebrated, some however, even German troops, who knew they had lost. looked back at the past 4 years of brutal tench warfare, loosing their friends and sometimes relatives due to combat. The treaty soon came into affect, and created a much more destructive conflict. But that is a story for another time...
