Why werent there any people to greet president Woodrow Wilson upon his arrival?

When President Woodrow Wilson arrived in Europe for the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, there were no crowds to greet him primarily due to the ongoing impact of World War I and the political climate of the time. Many European nations were still reeling from the war's devastation, and the focus was on negotiations rather than celebratory receptions. Additionally, Wilson's arrival was somewhat understated as he was the first sitting U.S. president to travel to Europe, and the logistics of his visit were more focused on diplomacy than public appearances.
