1948 Oslo Agreement

The Oslo Agreement is a *modus vivendi* signed in 14/9/1948 between the representatives of the Eastern Alliance (later ETO) and the Treaty forces (Marseilles Pact)

## Background

After the end of the war, despite some communications which happened limited during the early years, neither the Eastern Alliance or the Treaty considers the opposite side as a legitimate cobelligerent, which even soured badly after Operation Masterdom, Sudetenland Clashes and the North Tyrol crisis. Regardless, neither side wanted to prolong the conflicts further, while only participated in the war since 1941, the Great Patriotic Wars have begun since 1937 for Russia and the extreme costly struggle of the 6 years fighting was also weighing down on an exhausted France and Britain while their smaller allies are still busy with their own internal struggles. Thus, a fragile boundary line was informally observed across the entire front with both armies still in a state of high alert, as the bulk of the German Army withdrawn east behind Russian line. Some attempts were made to solve the questions as cross-border incidents, shootings and the immigrants as well as refugees but it came to no conclusion as the political victorious ecstasy of the war was still raging by the end of the Congress of the Victors, the Paris Charter and its rhetoric to annihilate all capitalist, imperialist and feudal enemies, while on the other side, the Vozhd Kornilov could not afford to stand down in the face of the Jacobin threat, in which the fiber of the fragile alliance of paradoxal nations and ideologies rely on. The death of Kornilov in 1948 and the agreement of the New Order policy achieved in Switzerland means that both sides are now more sympathetic and open to a peaceful solution to the uncertainty in Europe and end the state of warfare.

## Timeline

The Chief of the Bureau, Pierre Villon arranged a secret meeting in Berlin with a number of officers from the Russian Army and the Ambassador to Prussia, Alexander Kazembek, where the intentions of the French Social Republic and Britain is expressed to resolve in a peaceful manner the european situation, the Vozhd in turn agreed to this, seeking to stablise Russia and restore peace. A few weeks would pass before an official protocol could be decided in which a conference of shall be called in a Norway, the last neutral country in Europe, considering the situation in Switzerland, which the country welcomed. The French Social Republic appointed Marcel Deat, someone who is known to be able to work flexibly and outside of the hardline orthodox cadres as chief representative of the MARPACT, protests from the Prussian junta means that this country rejects sending a delegate, as well as Serbocroatia as the Kingdom of Croatia reject the legitimacy of the Illyrian Republic.

Codenamed "Yalta", the conference lasted for 2 weeks over increasingly hostile atmosphere put an end to the discussion as the Werewolves attack on the French Gendarme in Germany occured with deadly effects. A new directive came from Paris to conduct a new round of discussion with limited participations as Paris is anxious to return the economy to normalcy. With only Marcel Deat and Kazembek in discussion, a certain understanding was achieved for a mediation for the 2nd round of discussion in which ordered from the Russian troops on the frontline began actions against suspected cross-border actions of the Werewolves in a show of sincerity. The slugging talk ended a month later finally with the signing of the Agreement on Boundary and Peace Preservation in Europe, Demands for the recognition of the new Socialist Republics or the Russian-backed states were both rejected, in place a compromise that deal with "the Governments of the territories in the former German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire and its client states". A boundary commission was created in the week followed to create permanent border line to the situation, French forces kept its portion of Sudenteland, in exchange that all MARPAC forces must withdraw behind the Oder-Neisser line. A joint Refugee, Deportee, Repatriation and War Immigrant was created lasting from September 1948 to 1949, in dealing with a voluntarily flow of refugees that would choose to go to the East or West, as well as the voluntarily exchange of German PoWs and French PoWs still detained in some German camps in Eastern Poland and Prussia. A Permanent Joint Committee of Observation of Peace was established, serving as a quasi-embassy to both factions, with an office in Berlin and Warsaw respectively for each faction.
