However, due to weak judgement and intuition, as well as inexperience, he made a feeble, manipulatable diplomat.

But eventually, the German Army accepted and appealed to Wilson to initiate a sequence of amity discussions founded on Wilson’s Fourteen Points. Due to this, a peace agreement was professed on November 11th, 1918. Out of the fourteen main points Wilson defined in his speech, eight of them concerned specific issues that could only be resolved after the Great War.
