On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an
armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between
the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as
"the Great War." Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following
year, November 11th became a legal federal holiday in the United States
in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice
Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all
wars.
