Why and how did Germany lose World War I when there were still

>>2850520
when germany surrendered the western front had already broken. should they have waited longer the allies would have begun an invasion of Germany

Because they were getting driven back and their armies were collapsing, they were starving, their situation was hopeless, their allies had collapsed, and when the next campaign happened they'd be fighting through the Rhineland with destruction on their soil instead of on Franco-Belgium soil. The Eternal Teuton is readily willing to dish out destruction to others but is less willing to take damage himself.

Also that line in the south looks sketchy, the front mostly approximated the pre-war border there and the French even had taken some German territory in the southern part of Alsace-Lorraine.

Because the home front collapsed because suprinsgly bombing and torpedoing is less effective than blockading

Quick rundown of events:

1. Bulgaria collapses and sues for peace.
2. Ottoman Empire collapses and sues for peace.
3. Austro-Hungary collapses and sues for peace.

Germany is now literally alone against the world, running out of everything from food to oil. Also, the invention of tanks and whatnot meant that the Western Front wasn't nearly as static at the end of the war as the beginning. The Allies were pushing the Germans back (finally).

What about the rest of The Netherlands? Or just Holland.

This. The Hindenburg line had been broken and army would literally have collapsed if allies continued their offensives. Germany had to sue for peace otherwise it would have been like the soviet steam roller in the 40's.

+ The germans had little manpower and practically no trained soldiers left

Because they surrendered to avoid having their own country destroyed in the same way they did to the territory they occupied in France and Belgium.

If Germany had been invaded and destroyed, ww2 wouldnt have happened. Their early surrender made many Germans think they had been betrayed, that they didnt lose.
If France, America and the USA had invaded Germany, no German would have believed they were betrayed, they simply would have accepted their defeat.

Trying to avoid further victims and destruction, ended up causing far more 2 decades later.

French soldiers were really close to mutiny again though, this could have resulted in the allies making an even more weak peace deal
