Lutheran Italy

Intro

The Italian Federation (Italian: Federazione Italiana) or IF is currently a world power that covers the italian peninsula and surrounding regions. It towers over all countries today as the leading world superpower in economics, military, technology, and living quality. It is the 8th most populous nation on earth following the Russian Federation

In current times it may only cover a portion of Southern Europe, in the late 1950s, it covered over 1/5th of the entire earth as the Imperial Italian Lutheran Empire (''Italiana Luterana Empire). During the growth, as well as the height of the vast empire, other superpowers such as Britain, France, Germany, and Russia dubbed the Italian Empire as "Untouchable by our standards''"

Roots of Revolt

     In the dawn of the 1700s, Italy was a destitute region that mainly consisted of rival city states and small regions that were mostly dominated by other world powers at the time. On top of this, the leaders of the regional states were corrupt, the people were oppressed, and worst of all, they were brutally repressed in the facets of thought, speech, assembly, press, and self defence from their own government.

The driving force of the dissatisfaction of the people however, was the brutal enforcing of Roman Catholocism in every state of the region. People as far up as regional politicians and leaders grew weary of the worsening situation of national, religios, and self shame that the corrupt rulers of the region held upon the people.

As Catholocism became hated by the people due to the corruption of the leaders of the denomination, The silent transition to Lutheranism engulfed the entire Italian Peninsula at a very fast rate. This and the dangerous mixture of the hate that the people had for the controlling foreign powers had over the area gave way to what would be a revolt that would catch the eye of the world and change the history.

Revolt

As Luther's word spread into the lives of people all around the Italian Peninsula, they learned of the common goal of all the regional states. Secretly they made unifications with eachother. A network had now been formed under the grounds of divided Italy, and soon the rebels took action.

Italian Rebels now started underground arms facilities, newspaper presses, messaging routes, and trade. The Rebels soon grew to a formidable size among Italy. Along with this, the rebels quickly became more organized, powerful, and mobilized, and all rebels knew that the time for action was near.

On 29 June, 1707 the Italian 3rd Rebel Battallion drew together near the town hall of Trieste and shot down the police. Within 20 hours, they had suffered only 1 death and 2 wounded men, and had successfully besieged the city's police station. Once the city's police station was captured, the policemen were taken prisoner. The Rebels declared victory at Trieste and flew the new flag over the town hall..

News of the Trieste Revolt reached the Rebels in Palermo. This moved them to take action themselves, and so they did. On 4 July, the Rebels attacked the police of the city who hadn't already affilliated with the rebels, and so victory was declared in Palermo after one day and 4 deaths.

Days later, scores of revolts, big and small sprun up over italy. Soon after the starts of the revolt, the regional armies mobilized against the rebels, and on 30 July, Palermo and Naples were besieged by the Sicilian army. Other cities such as Venice, Rome, Milan, and Turin fell under attack by the oppressive regional armies.

3 years later the war ended with the Rebels victory on
