Here's what happened on June 21, 1918:

• German Fleet Scuttled at Scapa Flow: Final Casualties of World War I In a dramatic act of naval defiance, Rear Admiral Ludvig von Reuter ordered the deliberate sinking of the German High Seas Fleet interned at Scapa Flow, Scotland. During this operation, nine German sailors were fatally shot while attempting to scuttle their ship, marking the last human casualties of World War I.

• Bulgarian Prime Minister Resigns Following Macedonian Military Losses Facing significant military setbacks in Macedonia during World War I, Prime Minister Vasil Radoslavov was compelled to resign, allowing a more moderate political leader to assume control of the Bulgarian government. The pressure stemmed from substantial Bulgarian losses at the Battle of Skra, which highlighted the deteriorating military situation for Bulgaria and its Central Powers allies.
