>sign WW1 armistice>force the soldiers to keep fighting for 6 hours so the war can officially end at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month>3,000 soldiers died during this 6 hour periodWhy was this allowed? Why were so many people allowed to die for absolutely no reason? Shouldn't the government officials have called off the fighting as soon as possible? Is having a "poetic end" to the war really worth 3,000 lives?
