Cevap
Remembrance Day commemorates the anniversary of the armistice that ended the fighting in World War I in 1918.
The correct answer is correct because Remembrance Day was originally established to mark the end of World War I. At 11 am on 11 November 1918, the guns on the Western Front fell silent after four years of continuous warfare. Today, it is a day to remember all Australians who have died or suffered in all wars and conflicts.
