After invanding Rome, the Doge forced the cardinals to give him the status of the Pope. As pope, the Doge offer to the Holy Roman Empire an rest in war, we were going to assume the war with Milan, in trade we receive the Holy Roman territories in Italy. After getting Milan and the Holy Roman territories in Italy, Venice became the major power in Italy.
As soon the Venice state became greater, the Venice propose an alternative to Genoa, make an election to ofter unification to Venice, if approves it would be better for everyone, if recuses Venice would invade Genoa. Genoa approved, and sent troops to control Naples. The remaining were the Savoy territories. The Doge offered they a surrender, but they refuse it. After some years Italy was under the Doge rule.

It was already 1550's and Italy was under the Doge rule, Nicolae II was old but not an bad ruler. He knew about the new lands to the west, and like Spain and Portugal, he likes to win new lands. As the pope, Nicolae II forced Spain to give some fleet and man to help the Italian expedition, that landed in the Brazil coast and in the Thirteen Colonies North area. The Italians established several forts in the North America, but in South America they continued to expand since they soon walked though the Amazon river.
The North America Union[]
At the north the situation wasn't that easy, though, seeing that several European nations have traded firearms with the native nations. The Cherokees were one of the hard resisters that stopped the Italian advance. To the Americas peace the European countries that had colonies made the Milan Conference that pointed:
- Creation of the North America Union to better control of the native question in Italian colonies.
- Separation of the North America land to British, Spanish and Italian.
- Creation of the Europeans Powers Alliance for colonial protection

The Spanish were since the beginning allied with the Germans, but the Italians were neutral, wanting to help the old forces. When the Austrian-Prussian war begun the first act of the Italians were assume the Spanish colonies in South America and sent troops to the Austrian Monarchy as an pact of defense help. The alliance was officialized, and Austria assumed Poland from the Prussians and forced peace through the iron hand of the Italians, making clear that Italy rules Europe and that the Holy Roman Empire should last long time.
