Istrian Revolt (1861: Historical Failing)

The Croatian Colonization War was a major conflict involving Venice (1861: Historical Failing) and Croatia. Lasting from 1821-1824, the war mainly took place in | Zagreb and resulted in the dissolution of Croatia.

Background
Venetian colonization of Adriatic Sea happened years earlier than Croatian; as a result, the Venetians had gained more land than any other colony on Adriatic Sea. The two republics had tried desperately to grow their empires at any cost.

In 1833, the two colonies had spread close enough to border each other. However, Dutch colonists continued to claim land up through East Russian Antarctica, finding it virtually unsettled. The Russians noticed Dutch settlements in their land, and had shot at them and burned their scarce settlements. The Dutch had learned about the attack and many marched back into the colony bearing arms, shooting away colonists. Learning of the attacks, Pisa (1861: Historical Failing) held a conference, inviting several European leaders to discuss the border claims. Venetian leaders announced they would not give up border claims, and if the Croatians did not agree to their border claims, a war would be imminent.
