The German Empire was one of the defeated Central Powers during World War I. It entered the conflict following the declaration of war against Serbia by its ally, Austria-Hungary. German forces attacked the Allies on both the eastern and western fronts, although the German territory itself remained relatively safe from widespread invasion for most of the war.

By 1918, however, the Central Powers were exhausted from fighting, and the Allies had just won the support of the United States. Even though the eastern front was hundreds of miles away from the borders of the Reich, the invasion of the Rhineland on the other front precipitated uprisings and an attempted revolution throughout Germany. By the end of that year, the country had capitulated and the Empire had been replaced by the Weimar Republic.
