1 month agoHow Germany Lost World War I
Germany lost World War I because of flawed strategy, weak allies, resource-blocking blockade, failed U-boat campaign, inadequate logistics, and U.S. entry.
After the tensions of the George W. Bush era, the new US president's approval ratings among Germans skyrocketed. According to a Pew Research Center survey, 93% of Germans believed Obama would "do the right thing regarding world affairs." That remains a record to this day. Even in 2016, at the end of his second term, an extraordinary 86% of Germans still trusted Obama.
