🇨🇦 The History of Remembrance Day 🇺🇸
Remembrance Day, known as Armistice Day or Veterans Day in some countries, was established after the First World War. On November 11, 1918, at 11:00 a.m., an armistice was signed, marking the end of hostilities on the Western Front. The "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" became a symbol of peace and respect for those who had served and those who had fallen. By 1919, several countries began commemorating this day, recognizing the massive loss of life and the enduring impact of war on families and communities.
