Peace of Cairo

The Peace of Cairo was a historic peace conference called in Cairo, Egypt in 1944 by Fleetlord Atvar of the Race's Conquest Fleet. It represented the first time a representative of the Ssumaz dynasty had dealt with a foreign government as an equal since the unification of Home more than fifty thousand Earth years earlier.

After vaious human not-empires had stalemated his conventional military forces all oer Europe and North America, and after the United States, Germany, and the Soviet Union had developed atomic bombs that rendered them in effect colonization-proof, Atvar realized that the only options remaining to the Conquest Fleet were an atomic war which would leave much of Tosev 3 uninhabitable for the Colonization Fleet, and a negotiated ceasefire. The Big Five were invited to send representatives (George Marshall of the United States, Joachim von Ribbentrop of Germany, Vyacheslav Molotov of the Soviet Union, Anthony Eden of Britain, and Shigenori Togo of Japan) to meet with Atvar (advised by Moishe Russie) in Cairo. The outcome of the conference was that the five nations represented and various nations in their spheres of influence were recognized as sovereign nations by the Race, though only those possessing nuclear missiles were granted full diplomatic relations. Meanwhile, a number of nations which the Race had conquered were recognized as Race colonies by the countries present at the conference. Additionally, the British and Japanese empires were dissolved and their colonies (except for the British colony in northern Ireland) were turned over to the Race's Empire.

Both the Race and most of the human signators saw the agreement as a temporary setback in their quest for global domination and remained confident that eventually the situation woukd change in their favor, allowing them to disregard the agreement and press new advantages.
