Why did Germany surrender without a single enemy soldier crossing its border? Was it due to being bitch-made, a 'stab in the back' as Hitler claimed, or did they know something we don't?

British naval blockade was very effective at starving out the German people and preventing them from getting the fuel they needed to keep war operations underway.

Qui would do such a thing?

The 99% white German navy.

Because they lacked raw materials and fuel, their ports were blockaded by the British, and even food in Germany was becoming scarce (food in stores was becoming increasingly expensive and even rationed).

Do you think the anti-government revolts in Germany arose from "excess prosperity" among civilians?

I agree.

German sailors were denied a glorious Endkampf, so they mutinied. The rest is history; it was about our Ehre, not about a false and gay economic mismanagement.

When it comes to rabble-rousing revolutionary fervor, undoubtedly. They are the race of the zealots, the apostles and the reds. The goyim can't hold a menora candle to them in that domain.

They were intelligent enough to recognise they had lost on the battlefield, not just in the west, but also crucially in the south, where the fall of Bulgaria and collapse of Austria-Hungary would have allowed the entente forces to open up a new front or direct more soldiers to the west. Plus the Americans were only just starting to send troops into the war, and this would only increase as time went on. They surrendered early, to make sure the German state survived and the ravages of war didn't harm the German civilians.

Enemy soldiers had crossed the border into germany in 1914 already you fucking mongoloid

>>18060959
The British starved them into submission
Also they fell for Wilson's propaganda and thought if they became a democracy then the Allies would show them mercy
>>
Absolutely ridiculous that Hitler and Nazi propaganda pushed the stab-in-the-back myth, claiming Germany had not lost militarily but was betrayed by politicians, Jews, and Marxists. The worst part is people actually believed it.

They couldn't grow their own food? What a joke.

Neither Germany or England are self-sufficient economies. If either is cut off from world trade then it starves

for the following reasons
>population was starving and by that point the military was also starting to feel the affects of the blockade
>army had piss poor moral and was retreating on all fronts with multiple fortified lines breached, an invasion of Germany proper was pretty much inevitable if the war began and due to the issue stated above it was likely it would end in total occupation
>all of their allies had either collapsed or were close to collapsing which not only freed up far more entente soldiers but some of these new states even allowed the entente to move through their states meaning Germany was likely going to have another front again but with an army that was breaking
>made worse by the fact the American army was pouring in with fresh troops and supplies meaning what little change they had to hold out wasn't going to happen
>>
>>18063332
not without south american nitrogen (which they couldn't get)
plus having adult men at the front or making munitions meant fewer of them available for agriculture

People forget that the 'hundred days offensive' started as a skirmish. The Americans were preparing for the real offensive in 1919 at the earliest.
The Entente was shocked to see the German lines so easily collapse in late 1918.

The Germans were quick to sue for peace because you want to negotiate your way out while you still have some position of strength left, and before the enemy starts ravaging and looting your country. This is literally standard procedure. All German european allies did the same both in ww1 and ww2. As soon as the enemy has broken through, you sue for peace.

The Entente were also quick to accept the German armistice instead of continue to push for Berlin, because they wanted to keep America out of negotiations as much as possible. The hundred days offensive was still majority French/British divisions, but the longer they wait, the more reliant on American divisions and material they would become, meaning America gets a stronger presence at the negotiation table.
The Germans at first specifically surrendered to America only, because Wilsons demands would have given them a favorable deal by potentially annex German speaking parts in the east, including Austria and Sudetenland already in 1918-19.

It's also a major reason for the revolution, because Wilson demanded that Germany becomes democratic as a precondition for negotiations.
This made Britain and France freak out because it means they've basically wasted 4 years of carnage.

Starved by British blockade. Also the US had entered the war

This physiognomy, thorough economic mismanagement, autism and general kraut retardation.
>They could have genuinely won if they had communcations in the battle of the Marne
>They could have genuinely won if they had trucks in the 1918 spring offensive
The looting and morale are memes, krauts couldn't get ammo, artillery and food to their stormtroopers after a couple of miles.
I think they got to like 6 miles from cutting off the british rail lines to Ypres, severely bottlenecking the channel ports, opening a flank and likely forcing a general retreat of an entire army in georgette alone.
Had they had trucks and/or tanks, it would be quite likely they would have broken through to Amiens in the very least and of all sides, the french likely breaking first with ultimately a WW2 dunkirk style scenario fro the BEF and 1941 Moscow like hedgehog defenses by franco-american strongpoints on the south side of the flank.
The war was possibly decided by actions of several divisions at most, divided between key points.
Couples of hundred men, armed with whatever their nations have provided them, fought to the bitter end for the fate of nations in a storm of steel. Germans couldn't provide their men the necessary artillery and supplies and thus lost the war
