German defeat

The German defeat in World War II resulted from a combination of strategic mistakes, resource exhaustion, and successful Allied offensives. Key factors included overextending their military by invading the Soviet Union, underestimating the resilience of its forces, and facing a united front from Allied powers like the U.S., Britain, and the Soviet Union. The extensive Allied bombing campaigns weakened German infrastructure, while the D-Day invasion marked a pivotal turn, allowing Allied forces to push into Western Europe. By 1945, Germany was overwhelmed, leading to its unconditional surrender. This defeat ended the war in Europe and led to significant geopolitical changes.
