The Armistice was a formal agreement that ended the fighting in World War I. It was signed on November 11, 1918, between the Allies (led by the United States, Great Britain, and France) and Germany. The Armistice brought the war to a close and marked the end of hostilities between the two sides.
The Armistice was significant because it ended the devastating loss of life and destruction that had occurred during the war. It also laid the groundwork for the peace negotiations that followed, which ultimately led to the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.
Wilson's Fourteen Points were a set of principles outlined by President Woodrow Wilson in a speech to Congress in January 1918. The points were intended to serve as the basis for a just and lasting peace following World War I. The Fourteen Points included calls for free trade, self-determination for nationalities, and the establishment of a League of Nations to promote international cooperation and resolve conflicts peacefully.
The Fourteen Points were significant because they set forth a vision for a more peaceful and cooperative world order. Many of the principles outlined in the Fourteen Points, such as the call for self-determination and the establishment of a League of Nations, were later incorporated into the Treaty of Versailles and other international agreements. The Fourteen Points also influenced the development of international organizations such as the United Nations, which was established following World War II to promote international cooperation and resolve conflicts peacefully.
