[Edit: I MEANT to write World War ONE. I just can't do anything about it. Too little sleep... :(]

Somehow, I think this was the option that the USA really forgot about in OTL. Instead of a massive jingoistic campaign for the USA to join the Allied Powers, what if the United States decides that UK Interdiction and German Sinking of its ships means that some kind of peace deal has to be made?

I suppose that this would require a massive re-write of Woodrow Wilson (who is among the most overrated US Presidents in history), but assuming that Woodrow Wilson isn't the bigoted quasi-fascist that he was, what happens if the United States decides to intervene diplomatically to end the first world war rather than trying to choose a side?

What the battered nations of WW1 be willing to accept a negotiated peace deal, with the USA serving as a mediator? And if they were, what would it look like?
