The Conservative Party of Cattala was one of the three major political parties in the United Kingdom of Cattala. It was been a major force in Cattalian politics since its formation after the 1917 Revolution, governing the country between 1918 and 1939 and 1954 and 1963. A series of leadership struggles and political infighting in the early 1970s caused a schism and the collapse of the Bertollini minority government. The party remained in opposition for the next 36 years before winning the 2007 election.

Lord Anthony Secolo led the party to a majority in the 2007 election after defeating the dominant Democratic Party. In 2011 the party lost its majority and formed the first peacetime coalition with Il Popolo, which lasted until March 2013 when the High Tories Group and the Conservatives merged to form the Conservative Alliance.

Crowned Nationalists
The conservative nationalists grouping formed in the 1860s in the Principality of Celestine as political movement seeking the restore Cattalian nationalism and the conservative leadership the country had enjoyed under British rule, but as an independent state. This movement gained significant traction amongst the Amadeus rebels and held power over the courts of Prince Amadeus and Prince Roger.

The emergent leader of the movement was former Lord of Celestine, Duke Lodovico Bramasco, who served as the political leader of the principality through the 1860s and worked closely with Prince Amadeus on governing the territory, which was in effect controlled by Italy. His leadership ensured the Crowned Nationalists held great sway over Amadeus and managed to operate freely elsewhere on the island whilst other anti-Italian groups were not.

Bramasco's death in 1900 saw the beginning of the decline of the Nationalists as a political force, and the government of Prince William, later King William III, adopted right-wing policies of nationalism, militarism and armed insurrection during the First World War.

Cattalian Revolution
Around 100,000 Cattalian soldiers were killed or disappeared during the First World War. This placed severe pressure on the island's farming communities and saw food prices and labour costs rise extraordinarily throughout the war, peaking in 1917. Crowned Radicals encouraged Prince William to use the chaos to create a revolution in Jennai and Fieranti, akin to that ongoing in Russia, which would allow the principality to sweep eastwards and restore full control. Crowned Nationalists opposed this, claiming it could risk the toppling of the monarchy altogether, as would eventually happen in Russia.

Lord Emerson Frano established a political movement separate from the main royalist groups that began backing armed insurgency against Italian rule. Estate baron Sir Walter Crawton financed the initiative whilst also providing weapons to rebels, in an effort to increase the instability and allow the new Conservative Party to take a leadership stance once the Italian government in Cattala capitulated.
