Today is the day of the armistice in the First World War. The Kingdom of Serbia had 1,250,000 victims, which represents 28% of the population it had before the war. Unfortunately, even this horrible data is not essentially accurate, the real percentage of victims is much higher. Essentially, realistically, genocide against the population of Serbia ("punitive expeditions of Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria") was mostly committed over that part of the territory and population that belonged to Serbia before the Balkan wars, and in the "new areas" - the territory of present-day Macedonia and Kosovo and Metohija - it was to a much lesser extent. If we look at the census before the Balkan wars that were fought just before the First World War, it would come to the point that 1,250,000 victims, compared to 2,784,000 inhabitants, make up an even more horrific 44.89 percent. With my articles today, I want to pay tribute to all these victims of the Great War, as they called it then.
The armistice, signed by representatives of the victorious Entente and defeated Germany in a wagon in the woods near the French town of Compiegne, entered into force at exactly 11 a.m. on the 11th day of the 11th month of the year.
