<The war ended when an American army of a million men intervened—an army that came and then just as quickly left.>

Jingoism. The Americans came very late to a war that was already bogged down. Russia was about the have a revolution and drop out after loosing 1.6 million soldiers. France lost almost as many, and the Brits about 500,000. Everyone was tired, worn-out, and getting broke. So how many soldiers did the Americans leave behind ? About 50,000 - about the same as Viet Nam. Less fighting = lower losses.
