Why did Germany collapse in World War 1?
Germany did not collapse in the First World War. Germany asked for an armistice as soon as it was clear to a few key German leaders that they would lose the war. This happened before the German population and many in the military knew that they were losing. The swing from victory to defeat was relatively quick (July-November 1918). The German leaders prevented a collapse and damage to Germany itself by ending the war quickly. Unfortunately the German leaders never explained this information to the German people, which lead to the post-war myth spread by Adolf Hitler & others that Germany was not defeated but betrayed.

What are the 1st 2nd third and 4th republics of France?
Since 1789, France has has at least 23 constitutions, and has gone back and forth between republic, other limited democracy, dictatorship, monarchy and Empire. The FIRST Republic came in after the execution of Louis XVI in 1792. It lasted a very short time and was successively replaced by a Directorate, a Consulate and Napoleon's Empire. After the Empire, the Kings returned. They were kicked out in 1830 and replaced by a different King. He was deposed in 1818 in favour of the SECOND Republic. This one lasted four years; its President was Napoleon's great-nephew, who restored the Empire in 1852. The THIRD Republic followed the defeat and capture of Napoleon III by the Prussians in 1870, and lasted until 1940, when Hitler installed his puppet government at Vichy. In 1945 this was replaced by the FOURTH Republic. Even since then, the constitution has been changed yet again, and we're currently on the Fifth Republic, and counting.

How did the Holacaust begin?
Many Germans blamed the Jews for Germany's defeat in World War I, some even claiming that German Jews had betrayed the nation during the war. In addition, at the end of the war a Communist group attempted to carry out a Bolshevik-type revolution in the German state of Bavaria. Most of the leaders of that failed attempt were Jews. As a result, some Germans associated Jews with Bolsheviks and regarded both groups as dangerous enemies of Germany. After the war, a republic, later known as the Weimar Republic, was set up in Germany. Jewish politicians and intellectuals played an important role in German life during the Weimar Republic, and many non-Jews resented their influence. On the basis of his antisemitic views, Nazi leader Adolf Hitler attacked the impressive role Jews played in German society during the Weimar Republic, especially in the intellectual world and in left-wing politics. He referred to them as a plague and a cancer. In his book Mein Kampf (My Struggle, translated 1939), which was published in 1926, Hitler blamed the plight of Germany at the end of World War I on an international Jewish conspiracy and used terms such as extirpation and extermination in relation to the Jews. He claimed that the Jews had achieved economic dominance and the ability to control and manipulate the mass media to their own advantage. He wrote of the need to eradicate their powerful economic position, if necessary by means of their physical removal.
