The Zitassan Revolution (Zitassan: Rivoluzione Zitassan; Avergnonian: Révolution Zitassanne), called in Zitasso the Grande Guerra della Libertà Zitassan ("Grand War of Zitassan Freedom") was a successful war of independence by Zitassan revolutionaries against Avergnon between 1822 and 1824. The war is a great point of pride among Zitassans, and they celebrate Independence Day every August 11th.
