Following the German success in the Paris Offensive, peace talks finally start.


Europe was almost bled to death during the two period of prolonged trench warfare and the increasingly bloody Russian Civil War, that seemed to keep growing wilder and wilder with every passing battle. It was the time to end the war, while all sides could still survive the aftermath of the peace.   After the French Republic was defeated during the Paris Offensive - losing Paris, its capital and the center of the state as a whole - the Central Powers managed to draw the remaining states of the Entente to the negotiation table. The Weimar Congress was supposed to be a new Vienna Congress. A way to divide the world in a way that would reflect the German victory, but would also take into account the fact that Entente wasn't decisively defeated.   Peace of Honour, so to say. A peace that was agreeable to all and to last for a lifetime, at least. The Central Powers invited the Entente to the resort in Weimar, central Germany. Due to general feeling that the war was over, a massive exchange of war prisoners began together with an armistice on the Western Front. The same happened in the colonies, with only the Eastern Front remaining (though on a very low level of activity, and with the Reds' representatives attending.
