The other nation Demands we Surrender

As the war has progressed, we have been unable to achieve our goals in the time we set. In fact, those that we tried to invade have managed to push us back into our own lands. As such, we have recently received word from their government with demands for an end to the hostilities. If we were to surrender, we are likely to suffer for a few years as we pay our war reparations. We could continue to press on, however we must take our own losses into account.
