Battle of the Capitol

On the morning of the 2nd day of the American Collapse War, Pro-Alianza forces stormed the Capitol - the hub of American Democracy.They quickly held many men hostage, whilst slowly climbing the large dome atop the building. At midnight on the 4th, the rebels took down the American Flag and replaced it with the banner of New England.

This prompted the National Guard to launch a final breakthrough attack, however they were quickly deterred by crude grenades and dug-in rebels.

President Cordell Hull, realising the direity of the situation, called for a large bombing raid on the building. On the 5th, multiple fighters and bombers began strafing the building causing a fire inside. The rebels, with their goal accomplished, fled the building.

This Battle became a propaganda issue, as Pro-Alianza rebels critiqued the US' destruction of their own building, whilst hailing the rebels as heroes of the War.
