The Treaty of Debrecen was the official treaty that brought an end to the Siduri War. The treaty effectively operated as the instrument of surrender of the Republic of Syara, by then the only remaining member of the Inner Sphere due to the withdrawal of Allamunnika in 1937 and it's subsequent joining of the Common Axis.

Although Syaran President Sasko Anastasov had declared that Syara would not surrender in October 1937, the invasion of Syaran-occupied Ruvelka (which came be known as the Liberation of Ruvelka) resulted in a decisive Syaran defeat, forcing the Army of the Syaran Republic to abandon Eastern Ruvelka and withdraw to the Kurilla Mountains. With popular uprising erupting across Ruvelka and Syaran morale collapsing, the Syaran government ignored Anastasov's wishes and communicated it's desire to surrender to the leadership of the Common Axis. Following the suicide of Anastasov on 16 January 1938, the Common Axis agreed to a Syaran requested ceasefire and summoned a delegation of the Syaran government to the recently liberated Ruvelkan capital of Debrecen. Negotiations took place between 23 January to 7 February, with the treaty signed by all parties on 10 February, coming into effect at 0001 11 February, Western Siduri Time.

The treaty placed a number of demands upon Syara and to a lesser extent Allamunnika. The Syaran Republic was required to pay war reparations to the equivalent of $400 billion, divided bewteen the Common Axis nations proportionally to their contribution to the war effort (with Ruvelka recieving the most, followed by Quenmin, then Tennai, then Mansuriyyah, and Cacerta). All Syara military forces were withdrawn back to their pre-war borders, which were not to be militarized. The Syaran Navy was to be seized and distributed between the Common Axis, though this was prevented by the Syarans who scuttled their own vessels on 15 March. Although no limitations of armed forces were included in the treaty, the Syaran Army was forced to turn over or scrap most of it's armarments, including 90% of it's tanks, aircraft, and artillery pieces. Allamunnika was also forced to pay reparations, and disband much of it's armed forces.

The treaty was ratified by all parties within a week of it's signing, although it did not prove universally popular. The Mansuri government felt some of the terms did not go far enough, a sentiment shared by the Quenminese. The Ruvelkan delegation was infuriated by the decision to not demand Syara return Zemplen and other disputed regions to Ruvelka, though they ultimately agreed to abide by the terms of the treaty. The economic impact of the war, coupled with crippling reparations stunted Syara's economy, leading to the Broken Years. The date the treaty went into effect is a public holiday in many of the nations involved.
