Place guessing

Neither. I take it Versailes was guessed because of the armistice part. You are guessing "in the right direction", but not quite. A treaty not named after the place of a preceding armistice.
Jeanne d'Arc is the pucelle I was talking of. She attacked Paris, was wounded, failed to take it, but wasn't captured there.

Orleans?

Nope. That was the side of one of Jeanne d'Arc's greatest triumphes. She was wounded there, but not captured. Also I don't know of any armistice ever being signed there.

Did the Armistice end the 100 years war?

Malte279 · **Reply #384 on:** October 24, 2005, 01:56:14 PM

Nope. All of those armistices were a totally different (hi)story.

Is it Compiegne?

Perfectly right Stitch!

Jeanne d'Arc was captured at Compiegne. The armistice that ended WW1 was signed in a train carriage. In 1940 Hitler ordered the surrender of France to be signed in that same carriage. I heard two different versions about what happened next to the carriage. One version says Hitler ordered to blow it up while other versions say that (quite the contrary) it was brought to Berlin as a trophy where it was later destroyed during the city's bombing.

The train actually survived the war. It was damaged during the boimbing, from what I 've heard, but after the 1945 i don't know what became of it.... Hilter blblew up the tablet demouncing the German's 'aggression during WWI. And He indeed had it attached to his personal train.

Which makes a third version on what happened to that train carriage. I might really want to find out which one is true.

I retract my earlier statement. From the Wikipedia site it states the carriage was indeed destroyed in 1945 at the war's end. For some reason I had thought it had survived the Allied bombing.

This town is in the heart of the midwest and was used in one of TBS' self promos.

You're getting closer

It has the same kind of humor as Walla Walla.
