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 [[Levantine 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 given an ultimatum to convert or be banished through the coastal cities of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]].

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. | = Legacy = | ||
The Great Confessional War is widely considered one of the most important events in human history, creating a massive demographic outflow of people from [[Levantia]] across the world while cementing the permanent cultural and religious character of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] and the nations that would emerge from it. 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. The Renaissance era was replaced with the Levantine Counterreformation, a period of significant Catholic cultural output and the revival of Church architecture in the {{wp|Baroque}} period. Many of the great works of devotional literature would come in the decades following the War. | |||
The Expulsion of the Protestants also saw the proliferation of Christian missionary work. Many Christian minorities outside of the [[Occidental world]] owe their existence to this single event. It also kick-started the {{wpl|Age of Sail}} as it necessitated innovations in ocean-going navigation and vessel types. It also saw the spread of renaissance ideas and over time became a nexus point that blended eastern and western canon and academics and, for about 150 years many of the leading thinkers in the [[Occidental world]] were actually based in [[Alshar]] and [[Audonia]]. | The Expulsion of the Protestants also saw the proliferation of Christian missionary work.
