@jameswatt9158 It wasn't a serious attempt to end the war. It tried to lock in territorial annexations on German terms. Read Koch's The Origins of the First World War: Great Power Rivalry and German War Aims

Yeah the Ukraine war definitely is all for nothing. Ukraine is going to lose, it's economy is destroyed and it's going to have hundreds of thousands of dead from the war and be permanently depopulated by emigration. There was a peace deal hammered out a few weeks into the way which basically says Ukraine keeps out of NATO and treats the ethnic Russians properly. And it was torpedoed by Biden and Boris Johnson and Scholz. This isn't just a rumour anymore, a couple of weeks back German corroboration was released including from the ex head of the German army. So yes, the war is all for nothing or perhaps for the US neocons to kill some Russians by expending Ukrainian lives. And yes the First World War was all for nothing too. What did it achieve? Millions dead, Europe destroyed, British empire fatally weakened, Bolshevik Revolution in Russia which soon killed millions more and all it did to Germany was postpone its rise by twenty years.
