Let's assume a scenario where France suffers a revolt at some time during WWI because of bad perspectives at war (the US are finally not involved and the Germans keep on successfully advancing, or something like that), famine, political strife or whatever cause which leads to the French government to be deposed and replaced by another one which have no other realistic option than seeking a treaty of peace with the Central Powers.
Would the Central Powers intent or be able to impose to France a treaty with similar conditions of the IOTL Brest-Litovsk? Would the UK (specially if the US remains neutral) be able to stop such thing?
Similar conditions would mean that France might renounce to bordering territories which would be either annexed or converted in buffer states puppetized by the CP. This would surely include also Belgium and Luxembourg. Some Prussian leaders dreamed about setting the western border along the Meuse.
