When did the German surrender in World War 1?

Germany officially surrendered in World War I on November 11, 1918. This surrender was formalized with the signing of an armistice agreement, which marked the end of hostilities on the Western Front. The agreement was reached at 5 a.m. and took effect at 11 a.m. on that day, leading to the cessation of fighting and ultimately paving the way for the Treaty of Versailles in 1919.
