The First World War Ends on Sunday

This is a random way to start your morning, but it is also something I bet you did not know.


On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, the guns fell silent across Europe with the cease fire concluding the hostilities of World War I.


But Germany has continued pay for First World War under its obligations of the 1919 Treaty of Versailles.


This coming Sunday, Germany will make it last payment under the terms of the war reparations thus fully and finally closing the books on the War to End All Wars.
