Following the Holy League’s victory in the Battle of Placename in 1573, it was clear that the Protestant Union’s back was broken and that the war would be decided in petty individual treaties between individual Protestant Princes and the unified Holy League. Various abuses and indignities were inflicted on the conquered Protestant princes as their lands fell one by one to the Holy League.

==Expulsion of the Protestants==

Following the Treaty of TBD on August 10, 1575 the remaining Protestants were given an ultimatum to convert or be banished through the southern [[Dericania|Deric cities]] of [[Burgundie]]. Of an estimated tens of millions of Levantine Protestants in 1551, only 530,000 remained alive or unconverted in 1575 and of those 493,000 refused to convert and were transported. Levantia became entrenched as a unitary bastion of Catholicism, the Holy Levantine Empire covered all of Levantia with the exception of Faneria, and an [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire|age of colonialism]] was spurred on by the banishment of the Protestants.

Despite being a low point in the history of tolerance and the official death of the Levantine Renaissance, it is regarded as a net gain in Levantia and the 17th and 18th centuries were times of wealth and colonial expansion. Especially in Burgundie where the war saw greater self-rule, as it was elevated to an electorate principality, and saw the creation of the Burgundian West Punth, Grand Crona, North Levantine, and South Levantine trading companies.
