General Information

The Treaty of Strasbourg was an agreement signed by the France, the UK and Germany. It was later joined by the Portuguese Republic and bound these countries together. However, as the United Kingdom left TERRA and started moving towards the ONE sphere of influence, signing MPPs with German/French enemies (such as Poland and Serbia) and supporting Polish occupation of France and Germany, they broke line B of Article III and so, this treaty was declared dead by its members. Bellow, you can find the original clauses of this former treaty.
