On This Day | The Last Breath of War and a Son of Minot
Author

Only five years ago, the Kaiser had a wonderful dream. ‘O, yes,’ says he, ‘we can take France and London, too, but little Belgium,’ she rose up and said, ‘You can’t cross here,’ and they fought like heroes, but they didn’t have the size. So then we took a slice of France, and we feasted on their women and their wine, but now we are going back to the Rhine. For since Uncle Sam has sent his Yankees we’ve changed our mind. We’re going to bid farewell to France, to Belgium and wine, for we are going back to Germany to drink water from the Rhine.
— October 31, 1918 | The Ward County Independent
Why We Chose It
The armistice that ended the fighting was just 11 days away, but not before the movement of troops shipped the Spanish Flu to the far corners of the world. The war formally ended with the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919.
