After having been stopped in its tracks near the river Somme in France in September 2014, Germany could nevertheless look back on a militarily successful 1914, having conquered Belgium and a third of France. The war against Russia was developing well, even without the use of German troops now in France. Both Germany and the Allies were now at a point where they thought victory could after all still be achieved, an armistice would have looked like a bad option only, giving the other party the opportunity to strengthen its position for renewed attacks.
