Washington Compromise

The **Washington Compromise** also referred to as the **Washington Agreement** or simply **The Agreement** was the Treaty that ended the American Collapse War, began a new age in North America, and is the setting for "A Broken Eagle".

## Background

Following America's defeat in the Collapse War, the primary powers of New England, Texas, Mississippi and California drafted and enacted a Treaty. It was signed by all of the new nations and former states, however it was strongly opposed by the City of New York and Niagara for allowing the New English to spread their nation as far as possible. As well as this, the American State was strongly opposed; with their war with the Dakota Rebels and Montana continuing into 1936.

The Treaty was also hounded for putting too much economic pressure on the already broken continent, with states stuck to rethinking the New Deal, and possibly enacting it to preserve Roosevelt's legacy.
