Reason for carnival
The First World War lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11.11am on 11 November 1918. Funnily enough I was informed about this from an American today. Which is possibly the reason for this carnival going on here in Zürich right now. Starting at 11.11 on 11.11. Anyone?

What was originally Armistice Day the Yanks converted to Veterans Day. Being a yank I must confess "Armistice Day" just has a better ring to it than Veteran's Day.

Armistice: an agreement between two countries or groups at war to stop fighting for a particular time, especially to talk about possible peace.
All according to Cambridge dictionary.
