 * The Anti-Confederate Coalition will be disbanded since their purpose has now been finished.


 * Signed by: German Empire, Kingdom of Italy, Ottoman Empire, The United Imperial Shogunate of Japan, United States of America and the former government of the Confederate States of America.

After all that being said, the war is over and thus the soldiers will return home.
