About Britain surrendering I see your point and I'll probably change it in the revised version. As for Wilson the reason he collapsed and had a stroke OTL was because he was campaigning intensivley for the League of Nations which does not happen in TTL.

GMB GB was bound by treaty to protect Belgium and it was in their own interests to do so as it effectively bottled up the HSF.
GB wouldn't end the war unless Belgium independence is assured.

Germany acn get everything it wants at Frances expense at the piont of a gun thus upsetting GB's grand plans to lock the HSF in the north Sea.
All they need to do is be pig headed with France and take the norther provinces of france in Nord pas de calais, Picardy, the top half of Champagne- Ardenne and of course all of Lorraine.

This will give the Germans bases on the English channel past the Dover choke point and make Belgium a vassel state by proxy as they would be surrounded by two germanic countries in Holland and Germany.

Any early peace involving GB in a WWi type conflict requires Belgium to be freed or the RN destroyed.
As the Germans were incapable of the latter the the former is a prerequest.
Unless of course the war lasts much longer and Gb effectively surrenders in which case none of the above applies.
