The Germans performed extremely well considering they fought on essentially 3 fronts and with no support Austria and the ottomans were basically dead weight , old empires waiting to die . The armistice really should ' ve respected the peace and recognized Germany was not defeated on the field , instead the allies decided to fuck the Germans up and pass full responsibility for a war that they were all itching for and planning for many decades in advance . The ottomans also performed well considering they were all but finished by the BalkanLibyan wars . They held the British back at Gallipoli , scored impressive victories in IraqKuwait , but lost in the SyrianPalestinian campaign in large part due to local Arab revolts not British superiority .
