By 1918, Germany and her allies had taken so many casualties the end of World War One could have been predicted. Germany had exhausted its manpower resources. For example, between 1914 and 1918, the Western allies had mobilized 47 million troops. Germany and her allies could only generate 25 million troops. To a large extent, this troop advantage gave the allies an edge.
