What happens
Facing defeat in France, the French and British governments have decided to join their two nations as one until victory over Germany has been assured. A new joint government is being formed in London, with Edward VIII remaining as the head of state. In an issued 'Declaration of Union,' the new Joint War Cabinet stated: 'France and Great Britain shall no longer be two nations, but one Franco-British Union. The constitution of the Union will provide for joint organs of defense, foreign, financial and economic policies. Every citizen of France or Britain will enjoy immediate citizenship of the other state.'
