What were two causes of the stalemate on the Western Front during WWI?

The Germans had used a plan called the "Schlieffen Plan." They had quickly swept through Belgium and and the northern part of France. They were at a stalemate because the number of the French and British army were the same size as the German army had been. And because in the east, Russia had attacked Germany and Austria-Hungary and were forced to send soldiers to reinforce their defenses because they had sent the bulk of their military under the Schlieffen Plan.

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.)
