WWI, testing a theory.

First time poste here.

I'm writing alternate history fiction. For my 3rd book, I need WWI to keep going past 1918, as in a long stalemate.
I'm not asking to do research for me, but the war is only a backdrop in this story, so I'd like opinions of people with more knowledge than me.

What I'm going for.
- The US will invade Mexico, or do important enough manoeuvres that Carranza thinks they are being invaded. A truce could then be declared between Villa, Zappata and Carranza factions. OR there was already an accord and Wilson sending 12 000 troops to capture Villa forces Carranza to declare war.

The point is...

I need Carranza to go through with his promise to destroy oil field in Veracruz. England getting 75% of their oil from there, they suffer from an important shortage, important enough that they can no longer maintain the blockade, which makes Germany in a more durable position.

So the war keeps going.

I accept all constructive criticism.

Thank you.

There is Pennsylvania, Texas and Oklahoma. England will still get her oil. Meanwhile Carranza is arrested and shot in 1919 and northern Mexico is American occupied (Probably permanently knowing Wilson.). Even without the US full in on the Western Front late 1918; the Germans are kaput because of that idiot, Zimmerman, and British shenanigans. If the Germans by a miracle hang on into 1920 despite the road show the British and French plan for their entertainment in 1919, the Americans will be finally full in, only they will not be as unready for their part as in 1917-1918 in OTL. This ATL they have a couple hundred thousand reasons, quite dead reasons for their own bloody vengeance concert. OOPs. If you think Versailles was a bad peace, think what the Treaty of Cologne is going to be like after Wilson gets through with the Germans, because he will be fresh off that very bloody Mexican American War Round II. Kaiser Bill better also head for someplace with no extradition, because he will be at the top of a very short Allied list of people to be shot and or hung. I would not want to be the Bobbsy Twins, L and H, either.
