Why did the Germans think they would win the war at the beginning of 1918?

Because Russia was out of it, the French were becoming demoralised, and the Americans were not yet fully deployed. In fact, Ludendorff's Easter campaign almost reached Paris (2nd Battle of the Marne), before it ran out of steam. After that, there was more revolutionary talk in Berlin, and the Germans never made another big offensive on the Western Front, although they were still on French soil at the time of the Armistice. (This helped Hitler's propaganda.)


How did the battle bull run happened?

There were two battles of Bull Run. First Bull Run (July 21st 1861)was the first major pitched battle of the war, when the Union army tried to march on Richmond. Neither side was properly prepared for operations, but it ended as a Confederate victory that greatly demoralised the Union. Second Bull Run (August 29th-30th 1862)was a successful effort by Lee and Jackson to prevent two Union armies joining forces. It was an example of Lee at his best,making quick, bold moves that wouldwrong-foot a larger enemy.

Was Civil War over slavery or secession?

I assume you mean the American Civil War. At the beginning, it was purely over secession. Later Lincoln turned it into a war against slavery with his Emancipation Proclamation, partly to make his own demoralised people feel that they were fighting a crusade, but more urgently to keep Britain and France from helping the Confederates (because it would make them look pro-slavery).

What was the major objective of the union army after the Battle of Bull Run?

(Assuming you mean 1st Bull Run) The objective was simply to get back to Washington. The road was jammed with civilians who had come out to watch the battle, and then the only bridge in the area was destroyed by Confederate artillery. It was a chaotic retreat. For the next few days, the demoralised troops just hung around the streets of the capital in disorder. It took George McLellan to reorganise them and give them their self-respect.
