There wouldn’t have been one except for our interference.

That isn't accurate.

The combatants had fought at Verdun for almost a year, sustaining a million casualties without either side gaining an inch.

Then after five months of truce negotiations and subdued warfare, there was no resolution and full scale hostilities resumed. In other words, a year and a half of zero military or diplomatic progress.

That was not a stalemate the US created.

After all this, we entered the war.

Germany then attempted a last full-scale offensive and that failed in July 1918.

By September the first German ally surrendered and then Germany itself in November.

We broke the stalemate and ended the war.
