Europe at the End of World War One, November 1918
A map illustrating the situation in Europe in mid-November 1918, in the immediate aftermath of World War I (The Great War or First World War).

At this historical juncture, Europe confronted redrawn borders, crumbling empires, and the burgeoning wave of national aspirations that characterized the continent's post-war turbulence.
