Detailed explanation-1: -The final reason for Germany’s failure in World War I was its decision to carry out submarine attack against merchant ships in the Atlantic Ocean during the war. Germany launched many U-boats (submarines) during World War I and used them to try to force Britain from the war.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hitler had always wanted to see Germany expand eastwards to gain Lebensraum or ‘living space’ for its people. After the fall of France Hitler ordered plans to be drawn up for an invasion of the Soviet Union. He intended to destroy what he saw as Stalin’s ‘Jewish Bolshevist’ regime and establish Nazi hegemony.
