They believed they hadn't lost the war on the front (although the Germans had in actual fact been pushed back and retreated on the Western front for months in 1918) but they claimed to have been "stabbed in the back" by Socialist-induced navy mutinies and strikes all over Germany. The bottom line however was that Germany by 1918 simply lacked the manpower and resources to continue the war any longer, let alone win it.

Why did Germany collapse in World War 1?
Germany did not collapse in the First World War. Germany asked for an armistice as soon as it was clear to a few key German leaders that they would lose the war. This happened before the German population and many in the military knew that they were losing. The swing from victory to defeat was relatively quick (July-November 1918). The German leaders prevented a collapse and damage to Germany itself by ending the war quickly. Unfortunately the German leaders never explained this information to the German people, which lead to the post-war myth spread by Adolf Hitler & others that Germany was not defeated but betrayed.
