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. | 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.

Following the Treaty of TBD on August 10, [[1575]] the remaining Protestants were given an ultimatum to convert or be banished through the coastal cities of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]]. Of the estimated tens of millions of [[Levantia|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|Southern Levantia]] became entrenched as a unitary bastion of [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]], the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] covered all of southern and central [[Levantia|Levantia]] with the exception of [[Faneria]], and an [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire|age of colonialism]] was spurred on by the banishment of the Protestants. The [[Dragonnades]] were prosecuted in an effort to bring the expulsion to its comnpletion. The expulsion of the Protestants lead to the establishment of [[Pharisedom]]s abroad. | Following the Treaty of TBD on August 10, [[1575]] the remaining Protestants were declared to be {{wp|outlaw}}s, functionally being given an ultimatum to convert or be banished through the coastal cities of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]].
