11/11 was the end of World War I. But we already had a "remembrance day" in the form of Memorial Day. So it became Veterans Day. In Europe and Canada it is a different holiday.

"VE Day" in England is the only holiday I have experienced celebrating a victory, but that is less and less as that generation passes..
