World War 1 ended when Germany surrendered because they could no longer support the war. The war was ended by many involved countries making the Treaty of Versailles. Germany had to agree the the terms of this treaty even though they were extremely unfair. Germany's air force was taken away and they only had a 10,000 soldiers. They also had to except full blame for the war and pay £606,000,000 in compensation.

Well, on 24 October 1918, with the German army retreating and its discipline disintegrating, the right-wing aristocrats who ran the German navy launched a suicidal mass foray from the base in Kiel, where they'd been holed up. It was quite clear, rebel sailor Ernst Schneider later wrote, that this was to be a "death ride".

But the sailors had other ideas. The crews of German battleships were drawn from the families of skilled, socialist working class. Since Easter 1916 the entire underground culture of the German ports - Hamburg, Kiel, Wilhelmshaven - had been pervaded by far-left agitation. There was a "whispering campaign": under the cover of seamen's yarns in the lower decks, in the lockers, the munition rooms, crow's nests of the fighting masts - even in the lavatories - an underground organisation was built up, Schneider remembered.

The sailors' organisation met in in the dark, kneeling between the stones of a war cemetery. This was no Potemkin-style, spontaneous outburst. With extreme order they took over the bridges, ran up red flags and pointed the guns of rebel ships at the hulls of those that did not rebel.

World War I ended because the Axis Powers (Japan, Germany, and Spain) were defeated also because Germany was under a lot of pressure by the citizens of Germany as they were revolting so to prevent a civil war ended the world war 1. :-) and

World War I ended because an armistice was signed at 5 am ending the war at 11 am on the 11/11/1918

None of the countries involved (Britain, France and the Central powers) (Russia had already made peace) were able to continue fighting because their countries had been ripped apart by the fighting. The United states did not sign the Treaty of Versailles because they did not think it was harsh enough. It turned out to be too harsh. The US made peace in 1923.
