Second Occidental-Seljuk War (Chaos)

From Alternative History

1556, the Triple Monarchy of England-Castille-Portugal declared war on the Rum-Seljuks, enraged over the fate of Rome. Savoy and Florence joined the war.

[edit] The War

1559, Rome was reconquered by the Christians; all the Muslims found there were massacred.

In 1562, the great Sea battle of Malta was fought; the Seljuk-Barbary fleet was decimated.

[edit] The peace

1565, the Peace of Ostia was made. The Seljuks had to give up Latium (to Florence) and the Marches, Algiers, Tunis and Sicily (to the Triple Monarchy). The Romans displaced ~20 years ago returned in triumph. The victorious Italians demanded that the Pope returns to Rome, which the French king denied however.
