Your Shortcut to... Remembrance Day

At 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month was the time in 1918 when
the guns on Europe’s Western Front fell silent after more than 4
years of war. And to this day, we are encouraged to observe one
minute’s silence in memory of those who died or suffered in all
wars and armed conflicts. So in this Squiz Shortcut, we give you a
quick guide to WWI and how it ended, how its commemoration was
observed after the war, and what it means today. Squiz Shortcuts is
your backstory to the big news stories. Squiz recommends: Photo
