Like how Truman was replaced in 1945.
To be fair, he did leave the presidency with the second lowest approval rating ever. Though that was a combination of several different things, not the nukes.
Like how Truman was replaced in 1945.
Around the world, the most sensitive of instruments have picked up a large tremor whose location has yet to be determined. A few scientific minds have pooled their expertise with historians, and have come to a conclusion...
There is a nuclear weapon somewhere on Earth.
Enough is enough. This war will not go anywhere good. It's time for all sides to lay down their weapons. It is over.
For the sake of the people in all involved nations, we demand that all powers accept white peace. The three most involved powers have countries to rebuild. This war has gone on too long. Let it end so we can give our people what they request.
We would also like to officially announce our recognition of Norwegian Independence. We'd be willing to sign a defensive pact after the war is confirmed over.
You call for a white peace when your own citizens no longer want you to govern them. When you have torn your own country apart and ripped apart countless livelihoods. You no longer deserve to govern your country, much less make demands of a 'white peace'.
From: Socialist Republic of Norway
To: Combined Syndicates of America, Kirov, Finland, Sweden, Poland
Treaty of Kalmar
Spoiler :The Nations Assembled gather here in a city that symbolizes the unification of Scandinavia in the past, a great irony given the violent attempt at unification in the recent years. However, coming to the table in this great city, we acknowledge the need for peace and cooperation if there shall ever be a unified Scandinavia. We unite in our belief that this war has been horrible from its start, with untold losses of life and property, and with even those losing neither being condemned to great misery.
Should all assembled ink this peace accord, the following shall become valid between all involved:
Article I. Responsibility for the War
Norway is in no responsible for the outbreak of this war, it having originated within the halls of the Iceland-Norway government in Reykjavik, far removed from the democratic assembly that presents this treaty to the victorious Coalition. This in mind, all signatories agree to discourage enmity between their peoples and educate them on this fact.
Article II: Condemnation of the Reykjavik Government
Through their avarice, the King and his Government in Reykjavik deduced they should conquer the people of Sweden. This was despite the close diplomatic and economic ties the two countries shared prior to the war. Upon the invasion of Sweden, other powers led by the Combined Syndicates felt the need to intervene against such blatant aggression, the war eventually spreading across the Atlantic and killing countless more innocent people. The signatories agree to condemn the government of Iceland-Norway for initiating this chain of bloody events.
Article III: Recognition of the Socialist Republic of Norway
By attending this signing recognition has already been granted, but by signing such recognition shall become binding upon the Nations Assembled. The Socialist Republic of Norway and its newly-elected government shall be granted recognition by all signatories, with recognition observed to have taken effect since January 1, 2210.
Article IV: Foreign Relations
By signing this peace accord, the powers agree to sign pacts of non-aggression with the new Socialist Republic of Norway. The Socialist Republic of Norway shall also sign a defense pact with the Combined Syndicates, so as to help foster peace on the Scandinavian peninsula. All signatories concur that the Kingdom of Iceland-Norway shall have no legitimate claim to Norway from this signing onward.
Article V: Reparations
By signing this peace accord, Norway shall assume the burden of repaying the Swedish people and their allies for the costs of this horrible war. While it cannot bring back those lost, Norway can attempt to make amends by yielding its territories southeast of the traditional Swedish-Norwegian border to Sweden. Those residents in the territory shall be evacuated to Norway and compensated for lost property; they shall be given the option to remain by both Swedish and Norwegian authorities. These rich lands will hopefully make for a great economic boon to Sweden, allowing it to try and fill the hole left in it from this disastrous conflict.

Sweden, Kirov, Finland, and Poland all grant their signatures. Aragon may not be a formal signatory but gives its support to the treaty.
The Syndicates are formally asked to seal the terms of the treaty.
We are not against a peace deal. We are against THAT peace deal. A White Peace is unacceptable. New Americans have died in droves in order to stop Chicago.
May we remind Occitania that France is on the other side of the Atlantic. You have no business in North America. We wish there was a polite way to put that, but there simply isn't.
Bearing that in mind, any peace deal we will accept shall see Chicago...what's the word? NERFED. We will not see the next generation faced with the same threat that our current generation faces. We have fought for this, we have beaten Chicago for this, and we will NOT see it taken away from us simply because Chicago is going to try and use 'ending the war' as a way to escape unscathed.
...Stop Chicago from what? We have made literally no demands of New America. What exactly are we being stopped from doing?
The Vote
The Emergency Government of the Syndicates entails a vote. This vote will go out to all citizens of the Combined Syndicates under government control and serves one purpose: What the people would prefer the outcome of this war to be. Would they prefer a white peace? Would they prefer we make demands of New America? Or perhaps they would prefer to cede to some demands of the New Americans? The government wishes for the people to decide this as the one of the final acts of the Emergency Government before it resigns after the pending peace.
Treaty of Columbus
1. New America and The Combined Syndicates of America agree to cease hostilities, and agree to a 10 year NAP.
2. The Combined Syndicates agree to cede New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York to New America.
3. The province of Ontario is to be cede, and released as a new NPC nation, "Canada". Canada is to have equal New American and Chicago influence, starting at 100. Any influence investment made by either power shall be split equally between the two. Canada shall have a DP with both nations, and shall be more or less the neutral between the two. No other nations besides us shall be able to invest in influence in Canada.
4. New America and the Combined Syndicates shall agree to embark upon a joint rebuilding program. This program shall involve open borders between the two, a common currency (the dollar), and hopefully herald a new age of cooperation on the North American continent.
5. To safeguard against the easy shutdown of Chicago's new coastline in Virginia and Maryland/Delaware, New America shall sign an agreement that pledges its navy to prevent any blockade of the Chicago coast, and Chicago shall do the same in regards to the New American coastline. Essentially, a naval DP.
6. The population of the ceded territory shall have the option to either rebuild their lives in their old territory under New American governance, or to receive money from the New American government to start new lives amongst the rebuilding effort in land that will remain under Chicago rule. It is entirely up to them.
