what was the role of Germany in worl war 1

Germany was the loserGermany lost World War 1 and so it started World War 2 to show other country s they weren't dust.

Germany enters WW1 to ally Austria/Hungary against the peceived mass of Tsarist Russia. Ostensibly the British allied to France to defend the neutrality of Belgium. The Germans defeated Russia and despite the successes of Brusilov against Austria/Hungary, were defeated on the Western Front: the addition of fresh support of the USA was crucial in this theatre.

Germany was the whole cause of the war or at lease the treaty of versailles says so. they had to pay all was reparations and took all the blame for the war.

While the other person is correct, They had to pay reparations of about 40 billion is US dollars. About 269 billion gold marks in their own currency. They lost the territories they gained with the peace treaty between the Russian Empire, and had to deal with a strict demilitirization. They were only allowed a standing military of 100,000 troops, they couldn't have tanks, and they had to give up all of their U-Boats(submarines). Kaiser Wilhelm the II also had to step down. Thats practically what the Treaty of Versailles demanded of the German Empire.( I use empire for Russia and Germany as thats what they were back then). Although the Allied Powers blamed them for the cause of WWI, it was Serbian rebels who assassinated the Arch Duke of Austro-Hungary, Frenz Ferdinand. The German Empire supported Serbia and The Russian Empire supported Austro-Hungary. The German Empire declared war on The Russian Empire because the Russian Empire declared war on Serbia. Then everything else happened in the next four years of the war. -Azumith Smith (The source is the mid term I'm working on)
