Great Rebellion

The Great Rebellion is a major incident in the history of Panem. The rebellion began in 1 AS, when rebels from the Districts of Panem began an uprising against the tyrannical rule of The Capitol. The rebels eventually stormed The Capitol, where they executed President of Panem Frederick Wittrock and his wife Anya. However, their success was short-lasting when Wittrock's daughter Magenta Wittrock-Koln began leading The Capitol in destroying the various districts, causing the rebels to flee and ultimately surrender. The rebellion officially ended on 31 December 1 AS, with the next day ushering in the era of post seditionis.

Following the rebellion, now-president Wittrock-Koln announced the introduction of The Hunger Games, as punishment against the districts for rebelling and executing her parents.
