Why did Germany lose WW1
World War I (WWI or WW1), also known as the First World War, was a global war centred in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. From the time of its occurrence until the approach of World War II, it was called simply the World War or the Great War, and thereafter the First World War or World War I. This war The war drew in all the world's economic great powers which were assembled in two opposing alliances: the Allies (based on the Triple Entente of the United Kingdom, France and the Russian Empire, Japan and USA) and the Central Powers which included (Germany, Bulgaria, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire). In this essay I shall examine the factors that resulted in Germany’s losses in WW1.
In 1917 the German navy authorized their submarines to attack merchant ships around Great Britain without first ordering them to surrender. They did this to try to shorten the war by forcing Britain to surrender by cutting off all their supplies which they needed. This would result in neutral countries being brought into the war as they were breaking the international law of nations as they sank ships without requesting them to surrender. Germany made a critical error, when a German U-Boat fired a torpedo at the RMS Lusitania. RMS Lusitania was a passenger ship. Due to the fact that the ship was not meant for battle or war, the torpedo damaged the hull beyond repair. The boat submerged altogether resulting 1,198 civilians some of which were Americans to die. This resulted in Winston Churchill entering in the war against the Germans and thus joining the Allies. This would cause much trouble as Germany’s army was spread over much area this would weaken the force that Germany could exert on other countries .It faced the Allied powers which had additional war supplies and more able-bodied men. With this added batch of soldiers, the Allies would no longer be too greatly outnumbered by the Germans. This was all caused by the American’s entry into
