| | Initiating the armistice negotiations on 4 October 1918, the Germans directed peace feelers towards the U.S. government led by President Wilson. | | | This was overcome by German Chancellor Max von Baden's exasperated decision to announce the reluctant Wilhelm's abdication to the public on 9 November 1918 (subsequently made official by the Kaiser's abdication proclamation on 28 November). | | | In the context of the First World War 'the armistice' is generally referred to in context of the agreement between the Germans and the Allies to end the war on November 11, 1918. |

| | 1918 Influenza Pandemic CDC EID |
| | Despite the extraordinary number of global deaths, most influenza cases in 1918 (>95% in most locales in industrialized nations) were mild and essentially indistinguishable from influenza cases today. | | | Although in 1918 influenza was not a nationally reportable disease and diagnostic criteria for influenza and pneumonia were vague, death rates from influenza and pneumonia in the United States had risen sharply in 1915 and 1916 because of a major respiratory disease epidemic beginning in December 1915 (22). | | | For example, the 1918 nucleoprotein (NP) gene sequence is similar to that of viruses found in wild birds at the amino acid level but very divergent at the nucleotide level, which suggests considerable evolutionary distance between the sources of the 1918 NP and of currently sequenced NP genes in wild bird strains (13,19). |

| | Encyclopedia: Irish (UK) general election, 1918 |
| | Indeed the 1918 general election has become a potent symbol for militant republicans who have argued that the elections conferred legitimacy both on the anti-Treaty faction in the Irish Civil War of 1922- 1923 and on the violent campaigns of later groups such as the Provisional IRA that were still continuing many decades later. | | | In 1918 the whole of Ireland was a part of the United Kingdom and was represented in the British Parliament by about one hundred MPs. | | | It is also observed that an all-Ireland election occurred in 1994 in the form of the European Parliament election of that year, and in that election neither Sinn Féin nor any other militant republican party won a seat. |

| | In December 1918, Sinn Féin subsequently won the vast majority of seats in the general election, 25 unopposed, leaving the Nationalist Party with only six. | | | John Redmond was born in County Wexford in Ireland in 1856. | | | Unionists also feared economic problems, namely that the predominantly agricultural Ireland would impose tariffs on British goods, leading to restrictions on the importation of industrial produce; the main location of Ireland's industrial development was Ulster, the north-east of the island, the only part of Ireland dominated by unionists. |

| | The 1918 election was a landslide victory for the republican Sinn Féin party, winning nearly 70% of the seats (albeit with just 47% of the votes). | | | It is generally believed that a realigning election happens only after a shift in partisan preferences, though not necessarily policy preferences, among the electorate. | | | After the election, Soong founded the People First Party, which attracted members from the KMT and the pro-unification New Party, which was by that time beginning to fade. |
