=Germany Signs an Armistice= 11/11/1918 Germany World War Ⅰ was over. At 11:00 a.m. on November 11, 1918, Germany finally singed an armistice which is an agreement to stop fighting. Germany military leaders realized that they would lose in the war since most of the other Central Powers singed an armistice. Therefore Germany decided to surrender. In 1914, when World War Ⅰ began, the United States decided not to join the war and remain the neutral because most of Americans were pacifists or isolationist, people who opposed to the war. However the United States decided to join in the War in 1917 because of Germany. In 1915, when a German U-boat attacked the British passenger ship, Lusitania, 128 Americans were killed. In 1917, Germans announced that they would attack the United States’ ships sailing toward Great Britain or France, and they also sent a telegram written by Arthur Zimmerman to Mexico. It said if Mexico helped Germany in the war, Germany would help Mexico to regain the territory in New Mexico, Texans, and Arizona. Therefore the United States finally decided to join the war. During the battles with Germans in the war, more than 100,000 Americans were killed or injured.
