Line 25:
In Sardinia taxes were raised both for the poorer classes of the population and for the various Noblemen on the island.
This, combined with the Protest of March 14th in 1756 (regarding the poor management of Sardinian soldiers in the French army), planted the seeds for the successive revolts that would lead to the Independence War.
In the April of 1756 Charles Boyer was assigned as vice-Roy of Sardinia.
Known for his efficient yet sometimes cruel of crushing rebellions, he was deemed perfect for Sardinia.
As a matter of facts, since the end of March various protests in the major cities of Sardinia were already happening, with some of them being violent against the French forces.
