envoy confirmed the story to the united press agency, so it went on from there until it went on to makees of every newspaper everywhere. these are jubilant americans in washington holding this newspaper, "the washington times," saying "the war is over." there's this other picture from wall street celebrating what was supposedly armistice day on november 7, t we actually know is it's on november 11, 1918. then there is another image of people in times square celebrating as well, with headlines saying, germany surrenders, but as it says here, a miscommunication was to blame, a lot like what happened today with social media. mark: what we're missing is people manipulating news to their own ends. i hear what you're saying. in the states, communication was -- i mean, during say, it could have been down to a carrier pigeon getting lost. who knows what happened? it is and currently difficult thing back in those times. nowadays, of course, we have different ways of communicating and obviously are susceptible to people who want to manipulate things. thank you for bringing this to us. great to se
