The Great War ended on November 11, 1918 at 11:00 a.m. Paris time. Armistice Day was observed the next year. In the United Kingdom and Commonwealth nations, Armistice Day is now Remembrance Day. In the United States, Armistice Day is now Veterans Day.
In 1926 Armistice Day fell on a Thursday. In New York City, a two-minute period of silence began at 11:00 a.m.
