The American commander, Pershing, opposed the armistice, as he believed in unconditional surrender - the Germans should be pushed back over the frontier.

If he had had his way, Hitler would not have been able to claim later that the German army hadn't been defeated, but only 'stabbed in the back'.

However, by November 1918, everyone was so war-weary that any respite was welcome, and he was over-ruled.
