The Peace Treaty of Paris was the Treaty that brought an end to The War of Liberation. The Peace deal was nicknamed as "The Humiliation Accord" by British and American Politicians as the terms of the treaty were seen as unfair and humiliating. After an organised ceasefire in Late May, The Treaty was signed by the remaining members of The Allied Powers. The Treaty secured The Imperium as the sole European dominant Power in Europe and Africa and allowed them to have full control in Africa and Europe without any Allied intervention.

The Treaty would also see the annexation of France and The Benelux (Including The Netherlands despite not being involved in the war) which was seen as unfair because the Benelux Nations weren't allowed to be present at the signing of the treaty. It also saw the annexation of all British, French, Belgian and Dutch territories in Africa which would prompt a Portuguese and Spanish withdrawal.

## Prelude

After the French and American Counter Offensive in August 1940 failed, The Imperium dug in for The Winter and began preparing an offensive which would seize all of the Northern French Coast, The Maginot Line and The Paris area. The Grand Offensive was devised by Erwin Rommel, Heinz Guderian (who had just recently joined the ranks of The Imperial Army) to use 3 Sets of Tank Divisions numbering in around 15 Panzer Divisions to break the Allied Lines who were now firmly bolstered by The American Army.

During The Winter Months, The Imperial Army began to organise the areas of the offensive for a launch around 12th of February. Allied Air Power over France began to whittle down as the Imperial Air Force took control over the skies of Northern France. The Supremacy of the Imperial Air Force meant allied surveillance was limited to Ground Observations and Espionage. General Patton was deployed into Paris to organise an Allied Defence and Omar Bradley with Field Marshall Montgomery were tasked with reorganising The French Forces defending in Normandy.

The Tank Divisions were in place by January the First and the Allied forces were aware of the offensive starting on the 12th Roughly. The Imperial Forces in charge of France met and The Emperor ordered The Grand Offensive to start earlier on the 1st of February to capture or kill the High Ranking Allied Generals in the area and to catch the Allies off guard. This earlier offensive worked and The Battle of Paris had begun on the 5th of February meaning Edouard Daladier and Patton weren't able to escape Paris in time. Northern France had fallen by The 2nd of March and The Maginot Line had collapsed by the end of March.

## Aftermath

The Treaty of Paris is the most influential treaty and event since the Napoleonic Era. It shifted the political and territorial landscape of Europe, Asia and Africa. It brought The Imperium to a Superpower Status who successfully defeated Three World Powers and Western Europe in a War that they declared independence in. The Imperium was born in fire and the Treaty replicated this. They still maintain a strict policy on The Allied Powers not intervening in Europe or Africa. The Treaty also pushed the Allied Powers together in unity against the Imperium where they would eventually unify into The Free Atlantic States.

The Treaty also brought a swift end to a War where millions had died under German Occupation. Other than the Nazi Insurrections, the Imperium faced little resistance because they treated the conquered people as their own. This would change during the Later Years and Months of the Nazi Insurrection but initially it was smooth and brought order and unity to a disunited and unstable Western Europe. But, The Imperium is still very authoritative and many such as the French wish to be independent as they feel a complete assimilation was unnecessary and too cruel. The Allied Powers felt the treaty was harsh on them because they were on the defending side and fought to defend nations who were attacked. The surviving allies were weakened and punished with their colonies being stripped and harsh war reparations being imposed and a lack of international trade with Africa and Asia, made the Great Depression Recovery even harder.
