On November 11, 1918, a full century ago, an armistice took effect ending the fighting of World War I. Later, a peace treaty would be signed officially ending the war, but neither the Armistice nor the Treaty of Versailles could end the suffering generated by World War I nor could they prevent the even bigger World War (II) that would follow. Today we take a look at the costs of The Great War 100 years after the fighting (supposedly) ended.

thanks again for the info. I do know grandfather was in one of the last battles of the war, frogs gave him a metal for it.

Thanks. Only three of the Polish months resemble the Croatian months—the Polish name for July resembles the Croatian name for June (both from the word meaning “linden”) and the Polish name for August resembles the Croatian name for July (from the word for “sickle”). No months named for “hammer.” Serbian and Croatian are mutually intelligible languages but the Serbs use the Roman month names like we do in English.
