 | | In domestic politics, Bethmann's record was also mixed, and his policy of the "diagonal", whichendeavoured to maneuver between the Socialists and Liberals of the left and the right-wing nationalists of the right, onlysucceeded in alienating most of the German political establishment. |
 | | Bethmann's hopes for American President Woodrow Wilson 's mediation at the end of 1916 came to nothing, and, over Bethmann's objections, Hindenburgand Ludendorff forced the adoption of unrestricted submarine warfare in March 1917, which led to the United States's entry into the war the next month. |
 | | Bethmann, all credibilityand power lost, remained in office until July of that year, when a Reichstag revolt, resulting in the passage of the famous PeaceResolution by an alliance of the Social Democratic, Progressive, and Center parties, forced his resignation and replacement bythe nonentity Georg Michaelis. |
