День окончания Первой мировой войны
В РФ к сожалению память о Первой мировой войне практически отсутствует.
В вот в Британии все наоборот - именно Первая мировая, а не Вторая называется The Great War. Отмечается целых два праздника в день ее окончания.
Говорят, что в каждой английской деревне установлены памятники погибшим в Первую, а не Вторую мировую войну.
И это не смотря на то, что Первая мировая война даже не дошла до Британских островов!

World War I (28 July 1914-11 November 1918), often abbreviated as WWI or WW1, and known to Anglophone authors as The Great War or War to End All Wars, was a global conflict spanning four years in which millions of people were killed. Belligerents included much of Europe

Armistice Day, also known as Veteran's Day is commemorated every year on 11 November to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiegne, France

Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day owing to the tradition of wearing a remembrance poppy) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. Following a tradition inaugurated by King George V in 1919,[1] the day is also marked by war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries.
In most countries, Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the end of First World War hostilities.

We will remember them: Britain falls silent to honour the millions of war dead on Armistice Day - as Big Ben rings 11 times to mark occasion for the first time in five years
Services are being held across the country for the yearly commemoration of the end of the First World War
Duke and Duchess of Gloucester are attending the National Memorial Arboretum Armistice Day Service
In Edinburgh, the city's deputy lord provost, councillor Lezley Marion Cameron, gathered with veterans
Today could be warmest Armistice Day on record, with temperatures across the four nations in mid-teens

'Would you like my poppy?' Princess of Wales introduces herself as 'Catherine' and offers boy, 3, her remembrance tribute at children's centre visit
Princess of Wales, 40, gave her poppy to a little boy during visit to Colham Manor Children’s Centre today
Kate was elegant for the visit in Hillingdon, where she spoke with young boy and introduced herself
Clip shows the royal mother-of-three offering the little boy her flower and saying it was to 'remember soldiers'
Comes after the new series of The Crown was released, which is likely to send shockwaves through palace
Royal editor Rebecca English previously expressed 'shock' over series and slammed it as 'pretty distasteful'

В чем тут дело?
Именно в Первую мировую войну Великобритания потеряла несколько миллионов человек. А ее потери, также как и США, во Вторую мировую войны были ничтожны по сравнению с потерями Германии (9 млн человек) и СССР (28 миллионов человек, называются также цифры и в 40 и 47 млн. человек. См. ).
