Ireland, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands have come to an agreement with Great Britain and have successfully signed a peace treaty, effectively ending the war. The Netherlands annexed Belgium and Luxembourg; Germany was relieved of its debt to Great Britain following World War 1, and Ireland annexed Northern Ireland. In return, Ireland agreed to pay $150 billion to Great Britain for Northern Ireland. The treaty was mainly negotiated by the Secretary of War, as well as the Fine Gael and Socailist Parties, although Labour and Fianna Fail were also present but did nothing. Oppose opposed. A survey found that 85% of the Irish public viewed the peace treaty favorably.
