By 1918, Allied tanks regularly broke through German defensive lines, which led to the defeat of the German army. 

Indecisive Technological Advancements:

- War of Attrition eg.  Battle of Somme: British offensive against German forces resulting in very little gain and high casualties 
- Using 18th century tactics with modern weapons 
- Ludendorff offensive: effective at first collapsed due to German lack of resources 
- Planed undeveloped and inaccurate. 
- Naval blockade  ]]> 2021-10-12 02:52:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jmarquez67/lblz9bbchc5vk6ao/wish/1809430040 https://padlet.com/jmarquez67/lblz9bbchc5vk6ao/wish/1809434695 While both the Central Powers and Allies had conscription and increased women in the workforce, the mobilization of human and economic resources was a highly decisive factor to ensure Allied victory. This was because the Allies were able to fight a prolonged war, by having more resources, and resources from a wider range of sources, while the Central Powers did not.

Facts
- Allied colonies
- More food resources
- Naval Blockade
- Lack of reserves (Ludendorff Offensive)

Indecisive 
- Conscription
- Woman in the workforce.
