Question 3

What factors combined to bring about Germany's defeat?

Accepted Answer

Although in the spring of 1917,it looked as if Germany might win the war,a combination of changes on the war front and home front ultimately resulted in a German defeat.On the war front,changes in the method of war finally removed the fighting from the trenches.The use of tanks and an infusion of economic,military,and morale-boosting aid from the United States gave the Allies an advantage over the German troops,which were exhausted and suffered from diminishing morale.At home in Germany,growing domestic conflict over the war aims destabilized the country's focus.Popular discontent was growing in the face of poverty and the inability to meet basic household needs.Germany's network of allies was also coming undone with the defeat of Ottoman forces by the British and the defeat of the Bulgarians by a combined Greek and French army.The Austro-Hungarian Empire faced attack from exiled Serbs,the Italians,Czech,and Polish armies,and politicians who argued for independence.By 1918,Germany was alone.By the fall of 1918,the country was literally starving to death,the army had mutinied when ordered to attack a combined fleet of American and British navies,and on November 9,1918,the Kaiser abdicated,leaving Germany in the hands of a socialist committee.
