A little known tidbit!

On this date in 1957, World War I officially ended. I know, you’re all thinking, “What about November 11th, 1918? I thought that is when the ‘War to End All Wars’ ended.

All I can say is, “Pathetically naïve!”

In August of 1914, Andorra declared war on Germany. We’ve all read in the history books about the mighty Andorran army marching through the Ruhr, causing destruction and devastation. We’d all be speaking German now, if it weren’t for the strength of the Andorran forces. World War I superpower: Andorra the Great!

I can’t have been the only one who wondered about the Andorran army’s excursions in the 1950. I’m sure you all remember the incident at Baden Baden, when the Andorran commandoes splashed water in the bathers faces. It was an atrocity!

It turns out, Andorra was “forgotten” when the Treaty of Versailles was signed. So, although they never actually fought in World War I, they didn’t end the war until 1957.

(I lied about the Andorran army marching through the Ruhr. It just seemed funny! And the massacre at Baden Baden never happened, either.)
