Treaty of London

Treaty of London

A secret diplomatic meeting between the Allied Powers (Britain, France, Russia) and Italy, negotiating Italy's entry into World War I against Austria-Hungary. The room is thick with tension as diploma

Setting

A grand yet somber meeting room in the Foreign Office, London, with high ceilings and wood-paneled walls. The room is dominated by a large mahogany table covered with maps of Europe, surrounded by leather-upholstered chairs. Heavy drapes partially cover tall windows, muffling the sounds from outside.

TNGF
SELECTED
Sir Edward Grey
primary
A tall, lean man in his early 50s with a prominent forehead, deep-set eyes, and a well-groomed mustache. His posture is erect, conveying authority, and his hands are slender, often used to emphasize points during discussions.
Italian Ambassador
primary
A middle-aged man of average height with a well-groomed mustache, sharp dark eyes, and a slightly olive complexion. His posture exudes confidence, though his fingers occasionally tap impatiently on the table.
French Diplomat
secondary
A middle-aged man with a slender yet commanding presence, standing at average height with sharp, intelligent features. His dark brown hair is neatly combed back, with streaks of gray at the temples, and he sports a well-groomed mustache. His piercing blue eyes convey both diplomacy and an underlying steeliness.
Russian Diplomat
secondary
A middle-aged man with a tall, slightly stooped frame, broad shoulders, and a neatly trimmed beard that is starting to gray. His pale blue eyes are sharp but weary, reflecting the strain of long negotiations. His posture carries the weight of diplomatic tension.
British Aide
background
A lean, middle-aged man with a neatly trimmed mustache and short, dark brown hair parted to one side. His posture is impeccably straight, betraying military training, and his hands move with practiced efficiency. Pale complexion with faint lines around the eyes from years of late-night document work.

Dialog

Italian Ambassador Gentlemen, let us be clear—our price for joining your cause is not mere coin, but land. South Tyrol and Trieste are non-negotiable. The House of Savoy demands nothing less.
Sir Edward Grey Your demands are... considerable, Ambassador. But one must weigh such concessions against the broader stability of Europe. A redrawn map today may sow discord tomorrow.
French Diplomat One might consider, Ambassador, whether the Adriatic’s balance would truly be served by such... dramatic adjustments. France values Italy’s partnership, but the Hapsburg shadow is long.
Italian Ambassador Long, perhaps, but not unbreakable. Austria’s grip weakens daily. If you doubt our resolve, remember—it was your telegrams that summoned us to this table.
Sir Edward Grey Then let us speak plainly. Britain will not oppose your claim to Trieste—provided your armies are mobilized within the month. Delay favors no one.
French Diplomat A pragmatic solution, n’est-ce pas? The Kaiser’s generals already eye the Alps. Time, as they say, is of the essence.
Italian Ambassador Very well. But mark this—if these terms are not honored, Rome’s allegiance may prove... flexible.
