Austro-American Peace Treaty
Nine decades ago today, the peace treaty after the Great War between Austria and those United States was signed.
The world should note that, while there was an armistice in November of 1918, peace was not conceded to Austria before the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye and the Treaty of Trianon had both come into effect.
The world should also note that this peace came after the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the Persona Non Grata of this weblog.
