Overview In this experience, students brainstorm which holiday is celebrated on November 11. Then they create a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting the Fourteen Points and the Treaty of Versailles. Next they learn about the debate over U.S. membership in the League of Nations, and they write a short speech for or against the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles. Finally they evaluate a quote about America’s role as a world power and create a timeline to illustrate the main idea of the quote. Objective
The United States declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917. The first U.S. troops arrived in France less than three months later. By November 11, 1918, Germany signed the Armistice agreement. The war was officially over eighteen months after the United States joined it. In this lesson, you will learn about events at the end of the war.
Objective
The Armistice halting the War to End All Wars was signed in Compiègne, France, at 11 a.m. on November 11, 1918— the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. The exact time of the signing was no coincidence. Leaders hoped that it would remind future generations of the great price and the end of the Great War.
