I Peace for Now • Russia withdraws from the war in December, 1917. • Signs Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with Germany in March, 1918. • America joins the fight in June, 1917.
Fresh American troops “doughboys” were too much for the Central Powers to deal with • Germany was exhausted • November 11, 1918
On October 4, 1918 the Germans ask President Wilson for an Armistice. • War officially ends November 11, 1918,at 11am. • Germans face starvation, fresh troops, over 1 million dead. • Peace for NOW!
