On the first anniversary of the armistice, President Woodrow Wilson declared that November 11 would be celebrated as Armistice Day with parades, public meetings and a two-minute pause of business at 11:00 a.m.

On that same day, the United Kingdom’s Unknown Warrior was transported from France to London and buried in Westminster Abbey to commemorate those who lost their lives during World War I. France’s Unknown Soldier was simultaneously buried in Paris at the base of the Arc de Triomphe.

A year later, the United States followed suit by burying four unidentified U.S. military personnel in Arlington National Cemetery’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to represent those who gave their lives during the war.

In 1926, the United States Congress passed a resolution authorizing the president to recognize and honor the armistice on November 11. An act approved by Congress in 1938 made Armistice Day a legal national holiday in recognition of World War I veterans.
