Answer: a secret treaty with Russia.

Explanation: Germany sought peace because its allies (Bulgaria, the Ottoman Empire, Austria-Hungary) collapsed and Allied offensives and blockade made continued war impossible. There was no secret treaty with Russia forcing Germany to sue for peace — in fact Russia had already exited the war (Treaty of Brest-Litovsk), which temporarily benefited Germany rather than drove it to seek an armistice.
