No, it is technically false that the <span>collapse of the German allies led to the German surrender in World War I, since in fact Japan continued to fight after Germany's surrender. </span>
After years of relative stagnation, the war began its outcome in March 1917 with the fall of the Russian government after the February Revolution and the signing of a peace agreement between the revolutionary Russia and the Central Powers after the October Revolution, in March 1918. On November 4, 1918, the Austro-Hungarian Empire requested an armistice. After a major German offensive in early 1918 along the entire Western Front, the Allies pushed back the Germans in a series of successful offensives. Germany, in full revolution, requested an armistice on November 11, 1918, ending the war with the Allied victory.
