第一次世界大战中的德国

第一次世界大战期间，德意志帝国是最终战败的同盟国之一。在盟国奥匈帝国向塞尔维亚宣战之后，它开始参与大战。除了1914年东普鲁士入侵的短暂时期之外，德国本土在大部分时间中仍相对免受广泛入侵。皇家海军实施的严密封锁导致了德国城市的严重食物短缺，尤其是在1916-17年冬季。战争结束时，德国的失败和广泛的民众不满引发了1918-19年的德国革命，这场革命最终推翻了君主制并建立了魏玛共和国。

1914年，与欧洲其他国家的人民类似，德国人民以复杂的情绪应对战争爆发。最近的研究挑战了人们普遍怀有热情（1914年精神）的理论。由容克地主统治的德国政府将战争视为结束被敌对国家法国，俄罗斯和英国包围的一种方式。外交大臣伯恩哈德·冯·比洛指出，战争是为了使该国获得“太阳下的一席之地”，公众普遍的民族主义很容易支持这一点。德国当局希望战争能够使公众作为君主制国家团结起来，并减轻由德国社会民主党的迅速发展所带来的威胁，德国社会民主党曾是战前德国帝国议会中最有影响力的政党。尽管德国社会民主党加入了第二国际，但它结束了与帝国政府的分歧，放弃了国际主义原则，反而来支持战争。

事情很快证明，德国没有为这场持续数月之久的战争做好准备。最初，在德国战时基础上没有采取任何措施来调节经济。而且在整个战争中，德国战争经济的组织状况仍然很糟糕。德国依赖食品和原材料的进口，但这由于英国对德国的封锁而被迫终止。首先限制粮食价格，然后实行定量配给。1915年，德国为了生产粮食和保存谷物，猪猡屠杀中屠杀了500万头猪。1916/17年的冬天被称为“萝卜冬天”，因为马铃薯收成不好，人们开始吃动物的食物，包括品萝卜。在1914年8月至1919年中旬的战争中，由于营养不良，疲惫不堪，疾病和绝望率高而导致的平民死亡人数约有474,000人。
