The British were furious as they felt this peace agreement would favor the Allies, and when they found out that Wilson wanted an impartial, honestly negotiated peace in which the claims of the Allies and Central Powers would be treated with equal respect and consideration. Britain rejected US peace overtures, and relations between the two countries grew unexpectedly tense.

In March 1917, the regime in Russia (Tsar Nicholas II autocratic regime) had collapsed and had been replaced by a liberal-democratic government under Alexander Kerensky. As long as the tsar ruled Russia and stood to benefit from the Central Powers’ defeat, Wilson couldn’t claim that America’s going to war would bring democracy to Europe.

To fight you must be brutal and ruthless, and the spirit of ruthless brutality will enter into the very fibre of our national life, infecting Congress, the courts, the policeman on the beat, the man in the street.
