Why these political powerhouses suffered crashing defeats in both world wars

Throughout the 20th century, three nations—Germany, Hungary, and Bulgaria—found themselves on the losing side of World War I and II. Their defeats led to significant territorial losses, political upheaval, and long-lasting consequences that reshaped their futures. As the leader of the Central Powers in World War I, Germany's defeat in 1918 led to the draconian Treaty of Versailles. The treaty imposed severe reparations, military restrictions, and territorial losses, fueling nationalist resentment and paving the way for the rise of Nazi Germany.
