The Storming of the Tower of London

"I lament to see the honor of the sunk even to prostitution." For these impertinent words, our ruler our ruler had popular politician John Wilkes arrested and imprisoned. However, this sparked large protests in London, where crowds gathered behind the rallying cry of "For Wilkes and Liberty!" Officials read the Riot Act, instructing troops to fire on the protestors, but this served only to further enflame tensions as the crowd continued to swell. Protests soon rose up across the city and a large mob stormed the Tower of London, freeing all political prisoners. Led by Wilkes himself, the crowd then turned towards Buckingham Palace. The our ruler was captured as they attempted to flee the city and now faces trial for conspiracy against the our people, the verdict a foregone conclusion.\n\nA Revolutionary Committee led by Wilkes has taken over control of the new republic, promising to abolish serfdom, establish equality under the law and redistribute the nobility's land between the state and the peasantry, leading our nation to a future guided by the ideals of liberty and the brotherhood of man.
