    The Treaty of Warsaw​


    Across the world on VR day, people were celebrating the end of the war. Throngs of people took to the streets as spontaneous parties broke out – New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Chicago, Houston, Pretoria, Kampala, Jerusalem... Parliaments, presidents, and dictators proclaimed national thanksgivings to honor the troops and the victories after 3 years of brutal war. The casualty notifications were over. The news reports of bloody combat were over. The tension of thinking that nuclear war was just around the corner was over. Capitalism and Communism had faced each other, no holds barred, and capitalism had been victorious.

    However, conditions in the defeated Warsaw Pact was grueling to say the least. Many nations had been completely gutted out thanks to fighting and strategic bombing campaigns. Unlike the Western European, Asian, African, and South American Allies that suffered the same, they were subject to occupation forces. Parts of Russia that were under American or British control weren’t as bad off, while Chilean Argentina, Greater Serbia, or the Iraqi conquests in Iran saw heavy handed and brutal occupation tactics. Post-war developments were just beginning to play out – especially in Russia where the provisional government found themselves only in control of about a third of the nation, the rest belonging to Gennady Yanayev’s rump Communist Russia, Zhirinovsky’s Russian State, or the various separatist governments – the official end to the war and start of the new world order had yet to be concluded.

    The Big Eleven:

    · Donald Rumsfeld; United States of America

    · Winston Churchill; United Kingdom of Great Britain

    · Francois Mitterrand; French Fourth Republic

    · Gerhard Frey; Free Empire of Germany

    · Augusto Pinochet; Republic of Chile

    · Idi Amin; Republic of Uganda

    · Andries Treurnicht; Republic of South Africa

    · Yukio Mishima; Empire of Japan

    · Saddam Hussein; Republic of Iraq

    · Yitzhak Rabin; State of Israel

    · Achille Occhetto; Republic of Italy

    Meeting in Washington as the Battle of Moscow began, they agreed on behalf of the full Anti-Warsaw Pact Alliance to accept Poland’s offer to hold the peace talks in Warsaw’s Koniecpolski Palace (considered as fitting since their enemy was the “Warsaw” Pact). Held only one month after VR Day on July 17, 1991, the Western diplomatic delegations met with the representatives of the provisional governments, new governments, or various newly-created states arising from the ashes of the old Communist countries – only Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s Russian Republic was allowed representation at the conference out of all the competing Russian entities filling the vacuum of the USSR. Interim President Lech Walesa used the meeting to showcase Poland’s newfound liberation, massive celebrations about Poland’s Catholic identity and rich history. All of this worked magic for the international media but were underscored by the tense negotiations between the parties. The initial plans submitted were based off the working documents from the Riyadh Conference. Defeated Warsaw Pact nations had no real standing to contest any territorial losses. Unless they had benefactors as many of the former African socialist countries had in the Entebbe Pact, all were occupied and defeated, but they nevertheless put up a spirited defense of their interests. Wild proposals were kept squashed by the Big Eleven, who despite expansionist wishes of their own wanted to keep away a Versailles-like peace.

    Determined to finish everything as quickly as possible to restart the world economy from its dormant war footing, the Treaty of Warsaw was completed on September 25, 1991. The world order prepared so conclusively at Potsdam 46 years previously was swept away, something far newer left in its place:

    · The Allies would recognize the Free Russian Republic as the successor state to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The FRR would then accept full responsibility for the war, recognize all Warsaw Pact successor states, recognize all new states formed out of the former USSR, accept Allied occupation troops within FRR territory, and hand over all war criminals indicted by the special tribunal in Warsaw.

    · No former Warsaw Pact state may possess nuclear weapons, and any within their borders must be handed over to Allied-backed United Nations inspectors. The FRR may only possess military equipment and troop concentrations necessary for internal security operations, and all excess are to be delivered to Allied nations in lieu of reparations.

    · The FRR is to transfer Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands, Kamchatka, and all territory of Outer Manchuria east of the Amur river to the Empire of Japan in perpetuity. The Empire of Japan will provide for the expenses of all Russian citizens that seek to emigrate from these territories.

    · The following states formerly of the USSR are granted independence and self-determination: Republic of Tuva, Islamic Republic of Chechnya, Khanate of Dagestan, Circassian Republic, Emirate of Ingushetia, Republic of Ossetia, Republic of Balkaria, Kingdom of Georgia, Islamic Republic of Azerbaijan, Republic of Armenia, Ukrainian Hetmanate, Byelorussian Kingdom, Second Timurid Empire, Kingdom of Lithuania, Duchy of Latvia, Dutchy of Estonia, Kingdom of Moldova (including all of Odessa Oblast south of the Dniester River), and the Kingdom of the Crimea. Territory for Ukraine, Lithuania, and Byelorussia are to be set at pre-Molotov-Ribbentrop borders for all except the city of Vilnius (such territory annexed following Molotov-Ribbentrop will be administered by joint German/Italian/Polish authorities).

    · The German Democratic Republic is declared defunct. All territory formerly belonging to the GDR are to be considered integral territory of the Free German Empire.

    · The FRR is to cede Kaliningrad Oblast to the German Empire in perpetuity and pay reparations for all Germans displaced from their ancestral homes – no matter the country – in the years following World War II. Poland will cede all territory it currently holds that once comprised the German province of East Prussia and the City of Stettin. All additional territory once belonging to the Weimar Republic and Free City of Danzig are to be put under joint German-Polish authority until both countries can come to a resolution on the matter of control.

    · Finland is to be restored to pre-1940 borders and be awarded both Murmansk Oblast and the Karelian ASSR.

    · Ukraine’s Zakarpattia Oblast is to be granted independence as the Duchy of Ruthenia.

    · Armenia is to be awarded the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, but will relinquish all claims to Nakhchivan.

    · Turkey is to be awarded the Abkhazia and Adjara regions of the former Georgian SSR.

    · Disputed Iranian territory is to be awarded along the lines of the Qom Nine-power Agreement.

    · Lebanon and Syria are to be placed under the protection of the French Fourth Republic, while both governments are to recognize all Israeli territorial gains in the Yom Kippur War and recognize the State of Israel.

    · The Republic of Iraq, due to the death of the majority of the Kuwaiti Royal Family, is to be granted possession of Kuwait.

    · Italy is to be restored to pre-1943 borders on the European continent minus the port city of Fiume, which is to pass under Croatian control. In exchange, Croatian and Slovenian originated goods are to be granted no custom or port duties in the port of Triste.

    · The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is declared defunct and replaced by the Greater Serbian Republic. The former Socialist Republic of Slovenia is to be granted independence except for territory passed to the Republic of Italy. The former Socialist Republic of Croatia is to be granted independence except for territory passed to the Republic of Italy and the Krajina/Spilt region, which is to be retained by Serbia.

    · Slovakia and the Czech Republic are to be combined into the Republic of Czechoslovakia with its capitol in Prague. All Hungarian majority areas within the former Slovakia are to be passed on to Hungary for the sake of homogeneity and unity among nations.

    · The territories of Transylvania, Crișana, and Maramureș within the Romanian nation are to be granted independence as the Kingdom of Transylvania.

    · The Republic of Sudan is to transfer its southern provinces to the Kingdom of Ubangi-Shari in perpetuity.

    · The Republic of Cameroon is to transfer the provinces of Northwest and Southwest to the Republic of Biafra in perpetuity.

    · The Empire of Ethiopia is to surrender the Ogaden region to the Republic of Somalia in perpetuity.

    · The Lozo Kingdom is to be recognized by all nations. The remainder of the former Zambian nation is to be divided up as agreed to in the Salisbury Conference.

    · The People's Republic of the Congo is declared defunct, and all integral territory of said state is to be granted to the Republic of Zaire.

    · The Worker’s Republic of Mali is declared defunct, and all integral territory of said state is to be divided between the Republic of Niger and the Republic of Mauritania as determined by the 1990 French Community Conference in Algiers.

    · Each of the South American Warsaw Pact nations is to submit to occupation by parties of the Anti-Warsaw Pact Alliance till a yet undetermined date.

    · The Provisional Government of the Brazilian Republic is to transfer Amapá Province to the Guiana Province of the French Fourth Republic in perpetuity.

    · The Provisional Government of the Argentine State is to renounce all claims to the British Falkland Islands. It is to transfer Santa Cruz and Chubut Provinces to the Republic of Chile in perpetuity. Tierra del Fuego province is to be transferred to Chile, but the United Kingdom of Great Britain is to be offered a deal to purchase the land at a fair price.

    · The Germán Busch, Cordillera, Chiquitos, Ángel Sandoval, José Miguel de Velasco, and Ñuflo de Chávez provinces of the Santa Cruz Department of the Republic of Bolivia are to be transferred to the Republic of Paraguay in perpetuity.

    · The Republic of Ecuador is to lease the Galapagos Islands to the United States of America on the same terms as the lease term for the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base.

    President Solzhenitsyn, Foreign Minister Chernomyrdin, Minister Semichastny, and Marshal Gromov had no choice. The only representatives that remained from the original Warsaw Pact – all others killed, imprisoned, or deposed in coups or invasions – the terms left their nation sundered and crippled as even a regional power. But the terms were the best they could get. Faced with the vengeful Allies just waiting for an excuse to go on the offensive again and even the remaining areas of Russia splintering into civil war, they signed the Treaty of Warsaw on September 26, 1991.

    World War III was finally over.

    Yep, they're not taking any chances with potential resurgences. Though recombining Czechoslovakia back into a single state seems like an odd choice.

    Nice update. Though I find the re-establishment of Czechoslovakia to be out of place, oh well.

    There is a good logic to it. Slovakia already is not going to be friendly after the treaty, the Czechs are strong allies, and it's yet another way to reverse the borders prior to Warsaw.

    How does Turkey accept Azerbaijan being a 'Islamic Republic' and Armenia getting Nagarno-Karabakh? Surely the Junta would want something for their sacrifice.

    Romanians are definetely going to have a grudge on the Allies. Now, making Transylvania an independent kingdom? Hungary regaining Northern Transylvania seems more plausible. Transylvania doesn't have a separate national identity from Moldova or Wallachia and the Allies don't have something to build on, like the Russians had on the Eastern half of the Principality of Moldova. Transylvanians would view themselves as part of an artificial state and it would most likely be a place a place of ethnic strife between the Romanians and Hungarians over whether to unite with Romania or Hungary. Also, kingdom? Who would become king? King Michael I?
    I try not to be partisan, but I see no gain for the Allies in splitting Romania and not even return the 1939 eastern border, only antagonizing the Romanians. Their best choice would have been to return Romania to the 1939 to have a powerful state on the former USSR border and force autonomy on the Szèkèly Land or at most return the 1940 Romanian-Hungarian border, as recognition for 1956.
    Kingdom of Moldova? Apart from Stephen the Great no one could take such a crown.
