1. **Strategic Mistakes**: Germany made several strategic errors that significantly hindered its chances of winning the war. Notable examples include the decision to invade the Soviet Union (Operation Barbarossa) and the declaration of war on the United States after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. These actions stretched German resources thin and opened up multiple fronts that were difficult to manage simultaneously.
2. **Economic and Industrial Capacity**: Germany's industrial capacity was inferior to that of the Allies, particularly the United States and the Soviet Union. The Allies were able to outproduce Germany in terms of military equipment, supplies, and manpower.
