Foreword:
After the withdrawal of Anglo-French troops from Dunkirk in May 1940, Adolf Hitler surprises the world by offering a stable peace to France. In a series of secret negotiations, Hitler convinces Charles de Gaulle, leader of Free France, to accept a White Peace that returns all of France's lands except Alsace and Lorraine to France. Italy, persuaded by Germany, also agrees to return territorial gains in France in exchange for territories in Yugoslavia.
Epilogue:
By 1942, with peace established in Western and Eastern Europe, Hitler finds himself in a dominant position. Although the war continues with the United Kingdom and the United States, the lack of an Allied invasion in Europe and stability on the continent make it difficult for these countries to justify a full-scale war.
In this new scenario, Hitler seeks to resolve the war diplomatically with some territorial gains, maintaining conquests in Poland and possibly annexing the Baltic states. Meanwhile, the world contemplates a new European order, forged in peace, but at an incalculable cost.
