Why did Germany think they would win World War 1?

Answer 1

1. Germany had what was thought to be a hyper efficient (and much dreaded) General Staff, that is, central military planning agency. In 1866 and 1870-71 the Prussian General Staff had won easy victories against two major European powers. The General Staff was, however, obsessively technocratic and lacked broader political perspectives. This problem was exacerbated by bottomless contempt for the legitimate civilian government. Certainly, under Kaiser Wilhelm II there was rivalry between the General Staff and the government. The Kaiser himself - silly man - encouraged the view that civilians were second-class citizens. 2. The General Staff was convinced that, thanks to the Schlieffen Plan, it could knock out France within the first six weeks of the war. In the event, every key assumption in the plan turned out to be a miscalculation. 3. With a handful of exceptions, the German intelligentsia was firmly convinced of German racial superiority, and it was believed that this would be reflected in victories on the battlefield. In fairness, it should be added that the British went to war in 1914 also convinced of their racial superiorty - and both had a most unwelcome surprise! Obviously, this is only a brief summary.

Answer 2

what would happen is that Adolf Hitler world still be asoilder probably after Hinderburg dyed there would be a new election and (of course) Germans will get crazy with power early this time and probably took over Europe or remain calm and accept victory and have maybe a big party or something and through all of the 1900s no people would know the name Hitler existed
