WW1: the British Empire, France and Russia can't defeated Germany together only after the american have arrived in 1917.
WW2: It was basically Germany vs everyone, the german allies were Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, Croatia, all of them are small countries with insignificant military power. Italy was not prepared for WW thats why they were not so powerful. Japan was far away, they didn't send any help to Germany, the japanese industry, technology etc were not so advanced compared to europeans or americans. They had only huge manpower and fanatism. The other side was USA, Soviet Union, France, China, British Empire (+ colonies).
In Europe Germany fought against british, americans, soviets at same time plus local partisans in France, Balkans, Poland etc. You are blind if you deny that Germany was stronger than any country during the world wars.

You give Germany too much credit for the Central and Axis efforts. You don't know about the industrial output and armament capacity of each on the eve of Sarajevo. Every graph depicts an equal level from the modernising developments since the mid-late 19th century. You also fail to take into account stalling by Britain and America because they weren't our battles, but we got involved to maintain the balance of power. Germany was allowed to go unchecked in both instances, before the Anglosphere had enough. Germany thought they failed in WWI because it was only Prussia vs Britain and hadn't expected America to get involved or be of any consequence, but adding Austria didn't help in WWII. This is even despite France and Russia both divided between working for and against Germany. The reason why the Germans lost, is because of Napoleon holding them back in a dependent state and they weren't able to get a right proper colonial empire, being cooped up in Mitteleuropa and surrounded by enemies, a bit like Poland. Hence, Allied occupation and division between East Berlin and Bonn. I'm not sure you're old enough to remember these things first-hand, before 1989:
