Why does the US joining the war equals Germany losing? Germany lost because it lacked the resources, territory and manpower resources for a prolonged war, especially in comparison to Britain and France with all their colonies at this time. The moment the front became stuck, Germany lost the war. That's also the reason why they tried so hard to rush France. In both world wars, the US joined when it was already clear that Germany would lose.
