It might be interesting to have a thread recognizing the significant things that happened on each day of the year. Musical or otherwise. Here's today's, for November 11.
On this day in 1918 – World War I: Germany signs an armistice agreement with the Allies in a railroad car in the forest of Compiègne, France. The fighting officially ends at 11:00 a.m. (the eleventh hour in the eleventh month on the eleventh day) and this is annually honored with a two-minute silence.
Of soldiers alone, ten million had died.
