Without the U.S., the Germans would have been emboldened to keep pushing on the French and the British. <br /><br />If the war had "sputtered out", then there likely would have been drastic consequences in France and England, once the populations realized that they had shed so much blood and treasure for so very little. <br /><br />The Germans still would have felt that they had suffered for so long and endured such privations for little gain.
