Answer:
The Compiegne Armistice was a peace treaty signed on November 11, 1918 between the Allies of World War I and Germany, in a train wagon in the forest of Compiegne to end hostilities on the western front of World War I.
Leading signers were Field Marshal Ferdinand Foch, Allied Chief Commander, and German Representative Matthias Erzberg. The Germans responded to the policies proposed by US President Woodrow Wilson at his Fourteen Points in January 1918. The terms, mostly written by Marshal Foch, included the cessation of hostilities and the withdrawal of German troops from their borders, the preservation of infrastructure, the exchange of prisoners, the promise of repairs, the disposition of German warships and submarines, and the conditions for prolonging or ending the armistice.
Although the armistice put an end to the war, it took six months of negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty, the Treaty of Versailles, on June 28, 1919.
