American soldiers and supplies poured into Europe's battleground and halted the fierce German offensives of 1918. The Allied counterattacks dealt a severe blow to the German resistance and morale. As their German partners were being pushed steadily back, Bulgaria and Turkey saw no hope for victory and asked for peace. Austria-Hungary split into two separate countries when a peaceful revolution ended that empire. Its allies retreating from the war, Germany foresaw the inevitable invasion of its homeland. Germany signed an armistice on November 11, 1918, following several days of negotiations.

In the allied victory over Germany by 1918 how important was the collapse of the Germany home front?
The German home front did not collapse in 1918. In fact the German home front did not know or understand how or why Germany lost the war and signing a peace armistice.

They did not know that the German army had just recently been defeated and was retreating in France.
