The Russian Revolution led to a desire in Russia to withdraw from the Tsar's war. They negotiated the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. It was a disastrous treaty for Russia but Lenin bet that Germany would soon be defeated so the treaty would be null and void and Russia would lose nothing. America's entry following the sinking of the Lusitania and the Zimmerman Telegram sealed Germany's fate. German troops transferred from the Eastern Front couldn't compare to US troops flooding in, despite weak tactics. Italy not joining the war in 1914 on Germany's side followed by them switching to join the UK and France in 1915 was a semi-important reason. The battles in particular showed that France and Britain were slowly pushing forward, with far superior technology such as the tanks.
