I can't agree with that. The Allies finished by steam-rollering the Germans into unconditional surrender. That is exactly the opposite of what you claim. I would agree with you on the other wars.
Also very very wrong regarding the Great War. "The Hundred Days" was a vindication of the way the citizen armies of GB, the Dominions, France [once it pulled itself together after the mutinies] and the fresh USA had learned and applied the lessons of all-arms cooperation, and the concept of exploiting a schwerpunkt. Germany had exhausted itself in its last throw of the dice in March and April, the population was near starvation, and the Eastern front was a mess. Mutual inability to continue the war did not happen. I doubt if it ever does.
