The conflicts that would lead to the Ano Roxo began in the city of [[Calaine]], the capital of Alexandria and the financial capital of Cartadania. It is often cited that the true beginning was the failure of Alexandria to create laws for discrimination when it ratified its original constitution on 30 October 1680. Many of Alexandria's financial executives began to exploit this lack of legislation by denying the majority of the state's population access to certain goods and services. Some historians argue that this was a remnant mindset of Cartadania's provincial past. | The conflicts that would lead to the Ano Roxo began in the city of [[Calaine]], the capital of Alexandria and the financial capital of Cartadania.

Things began to crumble when Alexandrians began to protest in front of the [[Alexandria#Government|Alexandria State Capitol]] in August of 1697. Tensions escalated to a point where one protestor was shot and killed on the steps of the capitol building. This caused a chain reaction across Cartadania's most populous states where a man was also shot near Verona's capital, [[ | Things began to crumble when Alexandrians began to protest in front of the [[Alexandria#Government|Alexandria State Capitol]] in August of 1697.

Following these shootings, things began to quiet down a bit for a period of a few weeks. However, on 4 September 1697, 200 Alexandrians flooded into Calaine, capturing not only then-Governor of Alexandria, Angelus Lurio, but five other upper-class individuals, notably the heads of the Bank of Alexandria, Alexandria Common Oil, and Cafe Gral. They were tied to a set of horses and drug six miles from central Calaine to the eastern city limits before being shot infront of a crowd of Alexandrian commoners. News of the event quickly reached Santiago and Verona, south of Alexandria, and by mid-October, had reached Milan. By November, high-profile murders were common news. First, Santiago's governor was waterboarded and shot, followed by Verona's governor being thrown from a church's 440 foot bell tower, and finally Milan's governor being drowned in the Marèe Channel. | Following these shootings, things began to quiet down a bit for a period of a few weeks.
