1. The first world war was first and foremost a battle of attrition - that is to say, a game of who could hold out the longest (who could sustain their army, but lose the most men, spend the most money, expend the most ammunition and fuel). After the entry of the U.S. into the war, and the Second Battle of the Marne (15 July to 6 August 1918) the Germans and the other Central Powers realized that they were doomed to lose the war of attrition, and simply couldnt' replace the casualties they were taking.

2. Britain's formidable navy choked Germany and its allies of munitions, fuel and food. They simply couldn't hold out. German civilians were on the verge of starvation.

3. The invention of a successful Tank broke the stalemate of Trench warfare, and had a hugely demoralizing effect on the Central powers. The Germans never built tanks in any serious numbers.

A major factor in the collapse of the Central Powers was the use of the tank in warfare by the opposition. In addition, people in Germany were literally starving.
