Germany agreed to a cease-fire in 1918 primarily because it was unable to keep fighting. By that time, the German military was facing significant exhaustion, severe resource shortages, and the impact of widespread unrest at home, including strikes and protests. The cumulative effects of military failures, particularly on the Western Front, led to a situation where Germany could no longer sustain its war efforts effectively. While the other factors mentioned (invasion by Allies, losses in the East, and loss of territory) influenced the overall situation, the inability to continue fighting was the most decisive reason for Germany's agreement to the cease-fire.
