the Germans were ready to sue for peace and end the war certainly by July 1917, but that wasn't good enough for Wilson and his Globalist buddies that wanted to end WWI at a later date and far differently with the sacrifice of 100k+ Americans and millions more worldwide who died from famine and disease because of the war being extended
all before using the Treaty of Versailles to plant the seeds for the rise of you know who and a guarantee that that there would be another even larger global conflict as Socialism was being installed globally over democratic and republican interests
Wilson = worst president ever
he laid the foundation to bypass the Constitution and undermine US sovereignty in every possible way
FDR then weaponized it much like Clinton weaponized Carter's Community Reinvestment Act of 1977
