re: Should the Entente have invaded Germany at end of WWI?

THe backstab theory was started by Ludendorff and Hindenburg.

They had totally screwed up with their management of the country and running the war on the Western front. Their 1918 offensives got their best troops killed and resulted in massive mutinies and riots.

The German people had no clue at all until the very end that they lost. THink of Japan until we started bombing the main islands. They thought they had won major battles. They were on French soil and had knocked Russia out of the war and won in the east. Suddenly they are told they lost, the army is melting away, and they have to surrender immediately.


Of course, this begs the next question. Given the massive food riots and mutinies taken place. how hard would they have fought an invasion by the allies?
