the Central Powers, surrendered unconditionally to
the allies. World War I had ended with a total of

combatants. German propaganda had not prepared
that nation for defeat, and its suddenness
resulted in a sense of injured German national
pride. Following the defeat of Germany in World
War I and in the midst of a great worldwide
depression, both the social and political climates
were prime for a dictat...

Austro Hungarian Austria Hungary

It is generally accepted that Germany and her ally
the Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary (together
called the Central Powers), played the main role
in creating the conditions that led to the Great
War. Germany began to take the initiative after
her traditional enemies France and Russia joined
in an alliance. She expanded her Army and more
conspicuously began a programme of construction of

had reduced industrial production along with grain
production. Outputs in all areas were severely
reduced. The subsequent loss of the war resulted
in demands for reparations by the victors. These
demands were harsh to say the least and the
problems Germany faced in paying it contributed to
what was argua...

There are several reasons why Germany was defeated
in 1918 rather than 1916. By 1916, a stalemate had

deadlock. The plan was to make a massive
bombardment to destroy the German trenches and
barbed wire and to kill their soldiers, thus
making it easy for the British to advance.
