Answer by Habspei60. Confidence votes 94. The Armistice brought an end to the fighting of World War I on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11 month, 1918...or, November 11, 1918. In practical terms, WWI ended in November 1918 with the armistice cease-fire which took place on the famous eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. However, the war did not officially end until Germany signed the surrender (The Versailles Treaty) in June 1919.
