Armistice Day - November 11 -
100 Years - 1918-2018
It has been 100 years since the signing of the
armistice agreement that ended World War I. It
was a four year conflict, which began in 1914,
but the United States did not declare war until
April of 1917. President Thomas Woodrow
Wilson was against our involvement until he had
been re-elected for his second term and German
aggressions toward our merchant ships changed
his perspective.
The total number of military and civilian
casualties was about 40 million. Of that number,
20 million were deaths and 21 million were
wounded. The number of civilian deaths (10
million) exceeded the total of military deaths (9.7
million). The Entente Powers (the Allies) lost
about 5.7 million soldiers and the Central Powers
lost 4 million.
