CH: Reignite WWI

What would it take to resume fighting on the western front of WWI after the 11 November armstice? The fighting should last at least one extra month.

I think Germany was more ready to re-ignite the war than the Allies. If Wilson got even more pissed off at the Paris Peace Treaties, he might have started pulling out American troops early as a way to exact concessions from Britain and France... the Germans, even more angry at a more stringent treaty being drafted out of Versailles, might see this as a great chance to put soldiers back on their borders and declare that if the Allies want to force them into this treaty, they'll have to beat them again. They'd have to do this with a socialist revolt going on behind the ranks, yes, but you might see at least a month of continued warfare.
 
Well in that case you may get the month, but as Germany was already facing a famine and the you had the beginning of the Spanish Flu spreading, I wonder how well the soldiers would respond, at that time, to fighting.

Another potential would be if somehow you got a communist rebellion starting in France and/or Britain and weakening the forces their governments could provide for any forthcoming battles.
