Question

wilsons quest for a \peace without victory\
multiple choice
was a cynical recognition that modern war had no winners.
tacitly acknowledged that only a truce could end this war.
was indicative of his progressive idealism.
pessimistically predicted that the age of triumphant wars had died with the american revolution.

Explanation:

Wilson's "peace without victory" was part of his idealistic approach to peace, especially in the context of WWI, aiming for a just peace without one side dominating. The option "was indicative of his progressive idealism" aligns with his progressive and idealistic foreign policy goals, like the Fourteen Points. Other options: the first is cynical (Wilson was idealistic, not cynical here), the second about truce is incorrect (he wanted a just peace, not just a truce), and the fourth's prediction about the American Revolution is historically inaccurate.

Answer:

C. was indicative of his progressive idealism.
