Comments by "Ggoddkkiller" (@ggoddkkiller1342) on "Why the First World War DID NOT end in 1918" video.
The armistice was just a meaningless paper signed that many forces kept violating it. For example both British and French forces kept occupying territories after it both in Ottoman and Germany. Turkish garrison of Medina refused to surrender the holy city and kept fighting 3 more months so WW1 didn't even actually ended with armistice. Ottoman 5th army corps refused to disband their forces according the armistice and later became the backbone of Turkish forces during their independence war. The true end of WW1 would be treaty of Lausanne in 1923 at best..

I agree we gotta draw a line but even then true end of WW1 would be treaty of Lausanne in 1923 at best..
