Two baselines for an equitable London treaty

The closing preview offers two starting points for the London treaties: the historical Washington settlement or the equitable alternative developed in this series.

Notes

The closing preview says the London treaty installments will combine the two treaties because their failures belong to the same process. The second is described as a final attempt to preserve a system that adopted the opposite measures needed for survival. The counterfactual can start from the historical Washington settlement and try to correct it in London, or continue the equitable Washington framework already proposed. The choice remains open and is put to viewers rather than resolved in this episode.
