Was it at all ever possible for Germany to win WW1? What could

Avoid drawing Britain into the war by not attacking Belgium would have helped.

That's not a guarantee they would have stayed out forever but if they were focused on the Schlieffen plan working it would have given them more of a chance to smash France before turning to Russia.

Not having a retard as Emperor would have helped. WW1 and WW2 were both lost by Germany before even a single shot was fired, that both took several years is owed to the will of the German soldiers and the incompetence of Russian and French leadership.

>Schlieffen plan working
That required going through Belgium.

Not declaring unrestricted submarine warfare

No. They could not have won once they were blockaded as they were eventually going to run out of supplies. once the British and Americans were in the war they were outnumbered by a ridiculous figure, there is no way they could have won unless by some miracle Britain and her colonies stayed out of the war and Russia still collapsed in a similar fashion. Some would argue that if the original Schlieffen plan was used, not the modified version they ended up using, then France may have been obliterated long before Britain could start a ground war but the fundamental flaws of overstretching supply lines and communications would still have prevented them advancing and Britain would eventually push them back to a similar situation as the western front.

No it didn't the germans had underestimated the guns they had. At liege it was proven that they had the firepower to break through any fortifications.

i know this is very unhistorc but if you played any strategy games and you were outnumbered you kept building up your forces but you couldnt see the gap closing and you get sorta anxious and keep wondering if you should attack NOW because if you wait you will be smacked soon

thats how germans felt about situation twice

Could germans win this could germans won that, its been explained 1000 time that the answer is NO you idiot faggot

Winning no, because Britain would have gotten involved Schlieffen plan or not, but a sort of draw would have been possible if the US did not enter, because of economic collapse in France and Britain. Strategically there was not something huge they could have changed, that would have made the difference, aside from inventing stuff faster. It really come down to how other countries acted and the diplomatic/political failures before the war.
