Armistice

The new government accepted an armistice in November 1918. Elections followed in January 1919, and Ebert became president in February. The new democratic republic became known as the Weimar Republic, after the town where its constitution was written because Berlin was unsettled.

Separate armistice agreements with Egypt, Lebanon, Transjordan and Syria began in February 1949. They stopped the fighting and established armistice lines, rather than delivering the two-state settlement envisaged by Resolution 181.

According to Appian, Massinissa persuaded Scipio to agree to terms, and an armistice followed while the Carthaginians considered them.
