Holy Roman Unification War

The Holy Roman Unification War started in 1359 and went on until 1420 and is sometimes called the "Sixty Years War" due to its 60 years and seven month long time period. It involved forces of many nations at the time and the cultural divide between Germans and Northern Italians.

Spark of War
The war started on 3rd October 1359 when Austrian troops burned a protest camp just outside Vienna for suspecting a plague outbreak there. This led to an all out civil war in Austria.

First Phase
The war came in many phases and the first was the Austrian Civil War. Starting when a protest camp was burned the Austrian Royal Family became sealed in Vienna as the city was quickly set alight after rioters raided bakeries and butchers for food.
