It was Wilson's hope that the various warring powers could agree to end the war without carrying out to the point where one side was clearly defeated and had no choice but to surrender. Fairly obviously, this hope was not ultimately realized. The Entente powers, who were the victors, enforced such harsh conditions on the Central powers... particularly Germany... that they essentially ensured World War II, which is more or less what Wilson meant that he said "only a peace without victory can last."
