Answer:

The Germans were defeated not because they were necessarily in the wrong, but because the allied Powers were found to possess  greater brute strength.

Explanation:

Allusion is a figure of speech that represents a relatively indirect reference to another text, place, historical period, or author. Depending on the type of reference, there are different types of allusion:

  • Religious - an allusion to a religious text or figure;
  • Historical - an allusion to a historical period, event, or figure;
  • Mythological - an allusion to a mythological story or figure;
  • Literary - an allusion to a literary text or figure.

The only historical allusion can be found in the third option, where events from the Second World War are referenced.
