Treaty of Osnabruck

Germany and Great Britain had been fighting the World War, originally the Anglo-German War, since 1944. The Battle of Jutland was a devastating defeat for the Germans, who would follow up the defeat with the Battle of the English Channel, wherein the Luftwaffe defeated the Royal Air Force, and the Battle of Britain, where Great Britain managed to hold off much of the Luftwaffe. Following these conflicts, as well as campaigns such as the North African Front and the invasion of Italy, German Kaiser Wilhelm III tentatively authorized Operation Donnerkeil, otherwise known as the "Bombing of Norwich". Great Britain agreed to an unconditional surrender 48 hours later.

In order to never again pose a threat to German supremacy in Europe, the United Kingdom of Great Britain was formally dissolved. King Edward VIII was made to abdicate, and was followed by his brothers as the monarchs of the respective regions barred from ever reuniting. These were George VI of England, Henry I of Scotland, and George I of Wales. All three were made to demilitarize, with heavy restrictions on their military size under the scrutiny of German officials. The nations were also forced to enter into the Zollverein, the German customs agreement that linked the economies of many European nations together. Heavy reparations were imposed on all three, with the only accepted currency being the German mark, forcing the nations to adopt the currency fully.

Within the German Empire, the Treaty was hailed as a massive success. German officials applauded the document as a masterstroke guaranteeing long lasting peace as the Anglo-German Rivalry was seemingly put to bed. Across the English Channel, England felt humiliated, but resigned to their fate, fearing another German retaliation like in Norwich. George VI, who took the name in honor of his father, George V, was seen as a unifying figure for his short reign, attempting to console the English nation. Henry was seen as a national figure, taking the title King of the Scots. George the Younger, the first Welsh monarch in centuries, became a symbol of the Welsh identity and rebirth.

When King George VI passed away in 1952, many English expected his daughter to withdraw from the treaty and declare herself Queen of the United Kingdom once more. However, she declined, and the treaty held firm.
