@LucyLondon7@LegayRichard@FHeimburger@RealTimeWW1@MajBen Yes. This project was a mammoth project as it was, and we had to find an end date. There are always more #WW1-related stories to tell, but I fear we cannot tell them all. If our project inspires others - maybe you? - to go on and tell some, we would consider this a great success.
[The #TreatyOfVersailles marks not only the end of #WW1, but also of our project @RealTimeWW1. For almost 6 years, we have shared events as they happened in real time 100 years ago. It was a great adventure which went beyond anything we had anticipated when starting in 2013. 1/2]
@RealTimeWW1 I have enjoyed taking this journey with you from the beginning. "Thank you!" to you all for your thorough work and dedication. You made it.
Today marks the end of @RealTimeWW1, a highly succesful #publichistory project, managed by @MechthildRoos & @MajBen. It played a big part in my studies, it's quite something to see it coming to an end! I'm glad I had the chance to be involved with it (even if not for long).

@RealTimeWW1 Been following for years... thank you for all the hard work. And absolutely astounding amount of information every single day, on a very difficult subject. Thanks for doing it.
You will be missed.
100 years ago #OTD, Europe was not at peace, but on hold. This is another one of those many moments in the context of our @RealTimeWW1 project in which I am grateful beyond words that I cannot imagine how it feels to know that any day, war might break out (again).
Allies reject #Germany's opposition to the terms of the #Versailles#Peace Treaty, saying the Germans 'fail to understand the position in which Germany stands today.' German government gets 5 days to agree to the treaty's terms - or #WW1 will be resumed!
