Which country had the largest army during World War 1?
Russia
Why did Germany and Russia lose the war?
World War 1 (Called the Great War at the time) was the only war both Germany and Russia lost. Russia first lost to Germany. The German army used machine guns and the Russian army used repeating rifles. The German army used trucks and the Russian army used horse drawn vehicles. Finally the Russian Czar fired his top general and took over the military operation. He proved a totally incompetent military leader. Then the United States joined the war. The Americans had been fighting the army of Poncho Villa in Northern Mexico. They had needed guns that could pick off solders high up in the mountains. As a result, they had better rifles. American solders could shoot German solders long before the Americans were in range of German rifles. (Of course German artillery could kill Americans. But the Germans did not have enough artillery to stop an army.) Once the Germans were dislodged from their trenches, they could not defend themselves against the Americans.

The Russians backed out of World War I due to the Bolshevik Revolution, which created the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Russia did NOT back out of World War II. Russia had a non-aggression pact/trade agreements with Germany until the German Army launched Operation Barbarossa, breaking the treaty and invading Russia. The Russian Army held the Germans at Leningrad and Stalingrad, eventually defeating the Germans at Stalingrad while taking 300,000 Germans prisoner. From there, the Russians pushed the German army back to Berlin, capturing the Reichstag, or the German equivalent of the US capital building. In fact, the Russian army was responsible for defeating around 65% of all German forces, while Russia recieved 6 million casualties.
