The official placeholder Roblox group of the Papal States of Europa Invicta. Lore: From 1790 the Papal States were profoundly affected by the French Revolution and the subsequent wars of Napoleon Bonaparte. In 1791 Avignon removed itself from papal control and was annexed by France. In 1797 Napoleon’s conquest of Milan and his seizure of several papal territories was confirmed by a treaty that established the Cisalpine Republic. In 1798 the French seized the rest of the papal territories and proclaimed the Roman Republic; the refusal of Pius VI (1775–99) to recognize the new state led to his arrest and imprisonment. Pius VII (1800–23) sought peace with France and even presided over Napoleon’s imperial coronation in 1804. But the relations between the two men deteriorated, and in 1809 the Papal States were annexed once again and Pius was taken prisoner. Will YOU fight for the Pope and defeat the French menace at the gates? FOR GOD! FOR THE POPE! FOR THE PAPAL STATE!
