1848 Itaterran Revolution

The 1848 Itaterran Revolution, also known as the March Revolt was an Anti-Habsburg Revolution in Itaterra coinciding with other Liberal Revolutions in 1848.

History
The 1848 Itaterran Revolution began on the 12th of March 1848 after an Incident at the Rievania (then called Ravenische) Theatre where a stage performer suddenly shouted "Death to Austria" and rallied up the crowd which staged a riot. The rioting, fueled by decades of Anti-Austrian sentiment, escalated into full-on revolution when the Rioters declared Independence as the "Kingdom of Itaterra". Piedmont intervened as it saw it's enemy, Austria weakened and saw a chance to gain Influence. The Revolutionary Government, swayed by Piedmontese officials invited Giovanni of Emilia, the brother of the King of Piedmont to become their King on 23 March. The Revolutionary-Piedmontese armies swept up most of Lombardy and parts of Venetia. The War remained in stalemate near Venice until 18 August when Austria moved some of its forces from Hungary to Italy and started a new offensive. Pro-Revolutionary forces fled to Lombardy where they stayed until their surrender on 20th November.

Treaty of Verona
The Treaty of Verona, ending the 1848 Revolution allowed for Piedmont to annex the parts of Lombardy east of the Po River, and for Parma and Lucca to become Piedmontese Clients instead of Austrian ones.

Effect on Itaterra
The 1848 Revolution is commemorated every year on 12 March by a Military Parade, public holiday and celebrations and a speech by the King. The Revolution's causes are of serious debate in academics and the descendants of Revolutionary Participants were given Noble Titles by the 1948 Remembrance Act.
