That's literally what happened, the Axis kept trying to get peace but the UK refused as they were hoping to starve Germany with their blockade and win the war that way. Even in 1939, they had a policy of avoiding English and French ships as they were hoping to get peace.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL of the Canadian commander Charles De Salaberry who defeated the American invasion of Montreal. Salaberry deployed marching buglers to play in all different directions, meaning his American opponents didn’t know how many men he had or what direction they were coming from. by NotThenNotNowNever
Oh, but they do cause they somehow convinced themselves that they won the war.
Remember, the US have never lost a war!

Reply to ELI5: Why do major and minor keys evoke different emotional responses? by BluePrimulus
Because you've been told it is that way. You've likely heard sad songs in major keys and happy songs in minor keys. Not to mention the fact that a lot of music pieces change keys multiple times (a lot of chord progressions in pop music are inspired by key progressions in more elaborate music).
