Argument For and Against German Surrender

Posted on January 7, 2008
Filed Under Holocaust Timeline |

For:
1) Victory before September 1918 was still possible for the Germans in World War I

2) The German Government was still attempting to implement a “Revolution from Above”

3) Germany could have improved it’s position in the war making negotiations more fair for the people of Germany

4) It was a deemed a “necessary risk” at the time by the German government

Against:

1) The German government waited too long, effectively killing the economy of Germany

2) The German government waited until they had to surrender, not until it was in the best interest of Germany to do so

3) If the German government had entered negotiations earlier they could have received a better deal from the Allies
