Wilson was an arrogant jerk who thought he could solve the world’s problems on the backs of average Americans who gave their body parts to that awful war.

That said—it is true the European leaders were even worse.

Part 1 “Wilson was an arrogant jerk”
Part 2 “who thought he could solve the world’s problems on the backs of average Americans who gave their body parts to that awful war.”

The first part is surely true. As to the second part, no matter the origins of Wilson’s failures, and what a stupid early Progressive he was, there is no evidence he harbored the sentiments you attribute to him. He put the U.S. into the war very reluctantly and very late, and unlike post WWII harbored no desire to keep American troops in Europe after the armistice was signed.
