Answer:

#1 By the end of 1917, the Bolsheviks had seized power in Russia and immediately set about negotiating peace with Germany. In 1918, the infusion of American troops and resources into the western front finally tipped the scale in the Allies' favor. Germany signed an armistice agreement with the Allies on November 11, 1918.

#2 The major impact of technology on World War I was that it made the war much more difficult for the infantry soldiers who did most of the fighting. ... The machine gun and the tank were new technologies that influenced WW1 the most. The machine gun lengthened the war and forced it to become a trench war.

Answer:

I'll answer both below in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Germany decided to agree to an armistice with the Allies at the end of WWI because of their failed Spring Offensive. They were suffering from food shortages at home and they had lost a lot of troops. The French were on the offensive and taking no prisoners as they advanced on the German homeland. In order to stop the killing, Germany decided to agree to a truce.

2.) The primary innovations in weapons that affected the outcome of WWI were the machinegun and the tank. Before they were invented most of the fighting was done by the infantry. With the machinegun, more effective fighting could be had and the tank enabled each side to attack from further distances.

Hope this helps! Merry Christmas!
