After the Fall of France in the late spring of 1940, most people in Europe thought that the British would treat with the Germans and the war would end. However, thanks mostly to Churchill being PM at the time, they didn't. But what if another PM was in charge, who sued for peace? In that case, what would the terms be and how would the rest of the war progress?

I think for it to be acceptable to the British they'd at least demand a withdrawal of German forces from the formerly neutral countries, maybe even a withdrawal from France as well. The Germans on the other hand would want to keep some of their irredentist claims and make sure the British and French can't double cross them. Sadly, I think the Poles are screwed in this scenario, because Hitler certainly wouldn't let them go and the British can't do anything about it.

Thoughts?
