Prussia was not formed centuries before Italy at least not as the comparable state we know that's featured in later history. up untill the 1700's Prussia was a loose connection of states bound by inheritance oddities. it was preceded by the Prussian Duchy. Rennaisance Naples was not influenced by the nation we know as spain, but by the kingdom of Aragon, a state that officially collapsed in 1707. Aragon and Castille shared a crown from the later years of the Rennaisance onwards but Aragon retained distinct autonomy and part of that autonomy and the adherent issues with it lay in the connection between Aragon and Naples, Naples being a territory that belonged to the Aragonese(not the spanish/castillian) crown. Aragon also held the crown of Sicily and Sardinia till the 1700's making it all the more relevant to this video. In theory the monarchs of Aragon could have retreated into their Italian holdings instead of submitting to Castille.

Aurelion your part on kigdom of Naples is not correct. Southern Italy was often split, Sicily from the rest of the peninsula, and there was several different government and influence from foreign nations. This is true also for Lombardy, which was under the influence of Spain (or Castille as you prefer) for nearly a century in the 1600's. For other correction, it could be say that Garibaldi was favorable to form a Republic, and he had political ideas similar to the ones of Mazzini. The march of the sabaudian armies towards Naples stoped Garibaldi to reunite Italy in a Republic. Moreover, the expedition of Garibaldi was favored by Sardinia-Piedmont and some foreign country like Italy, it just not passed as an official war because it that way the piedmontese would never manage to conquer these land, without any support from the people and from other countries (Naples instead had some allies that can help them in a regular war).

Many people doesn't know it but Garibaldi is a hero in Brazil too. He helped the cause of a rebellion (started in 1835) in southern Brazil against the imperial central power over taxes and absolute lack of civil rights to the people of Rio Grande do Sul. He came in 1836 and helped to establish a separate republic (diplomacy didn't worked, neither did the empire accepted a reduction in the taxes, so they proclamated independence). In an absolute madman moment he moved two warships on wheels for 150 kilometers. Trough swamplands. Below torrencial rain, at winter, with near 5°C temperatures. Once at sea he commanded a raid in another province and convinced them to join the war as ANOTHER secessionist republic. When things started to go not so well for the isolated republic he fled back to Europe, but never forgot the war he fought in south america. He even wrote about it on his diary later, of how frequently he wanted for the gauchos and their unstoppable cavalry with him in unification wars. Even his wife was Brazilian (they met each other in that raided province). It's a looong but incredible history, too long for a youtube comment but worth of a search (or a video too, just saying, huh Armchair Historian... You know, there's a reason why Garibaldi is wearing a poncho in his portrait hahaha) All hail Garibaldi, hero of two worlds!

You could have at least mentioned that Austria invaded Piedmont and was pushed back by the Franco-Sardinian alliance after several battles like Montebello, Magenta or Solferino. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Italian_War_of_Independence en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Montebello_(1859) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Magenta en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Solferino

He shows that leaders are better off being legitimately good people and ultimately put their nations before themselves, but at the same time they must be able to make difficult decisions when the time comes. Politicians these days seem like they either didn't read any of his books, or at least didn't read the Discourses.

Depends on how deep you delve into rennaisance politics,most people only see Machiavelli as an evil man, absolutely lacking all understanding of his political influence. Cesare Borgia 'pacified' a portion of Northern Italy he employed Da Vinci for a while and was an inspiration to Machiavelli, both of these things obviously did not happen without reason. In hindsight Cesare was far more important at that time than people imagined. But in saying that: this also means he can't have been a major influence on any Italian sentiment unless people actively did research themselves which wasn't as easy as it is today.

It's important to note though that Dante was absolutely not thinking about a Unified Italy when writing any of his works, he was actually in favor of a Universal Empire that would cover all of Europe and coexist with the Papal authority (that however would have only kept its spiritual power, not its land posessions). Centuries later, mostly during the Risorgimento, Dantes works were read under a new light and used to support the idea of a unification. In honour to that, during the Risorgimento, when intelectuals had to create a unified languge to be used across all Italy's different regions (which did not speak the same language by any means), they mostly took inspiration from the language Dante used in his Comedìa, the "Fiorentino illustre" (aka classy Florence vulgar dialect)

@gennarinolocasciulo 6 жыл бұрын

Leo V national feeling is not necessarily connected with the creation of a unified state. The point is whether Dante thought of the various peoples living in the Italian peninsula as belonging to the same nation or not. I would opt for a positive answer to this question, thinking of what he wrote in his oeuvres (e.g. "De Vulgari Eloquentia"). Did the people that live Italy already call themselves Italians somehow? I would say that yes. Were they different from each other? Definitely, but with some common characteristics that differentiated them from the other European nations. They obviously spoke different languages (or dialects) but the Florentine became a "lingua franca" much earlier than the 19th century and was used by most of the Italian courts for official documents well before the Risorgimento. The "Accademia della Crusca" was founded in 1583, just to bring some evidence to my argument.

Hey, that was a great job! I actually appreciate you focused on political, economic and social aspects. And the facts you gave were well researched! Sadly on KZfaq it's full of videos making history just a matter of wars and weapons... I would only point out that Dante Alighieri lived in the 14th century and not in the 16th/17th, and that Cesare Borgia was never actually an insipirator or a guide for the Italian unification process. It was Machiavelli that considered him as a model of strategy and political abilities for the "ideal prince" of a united Italian Peninsula. When Machiavelli wrote about this "Ideal prince" idea in his 1527 book "Il Principe" Cesare Borgia was already dead since 20 years, the Italian Wars were in full swing and none really cared about what Machiavelli had to say about him. Fun fact... did you know that Cesare Borgia was actually the son of a Pope? That's something that would deserve a video!

Aside from uniting Germany this is one of my favorite ways to play Victoria 2! Remaking the steps of Garibaldy and Cavour but as early as possible, and then struggle with the greatpowers so Italy can carve it's own path!

The process of national unification in Italy, I would guess, stems from a need to protect themselves from the other nation states that existed around them? Since the italians themselves weren't all that preocupied with it?

Dante was born in XIII century, 200 years before Machiavelli and Borgia, who were both born and lived most of their lives in XV century. Same level of professionalism as at the video about Stalingrad.

The part about Garibaldi being accepting of a dictatorship rather than a republic if it meant a unified Italy is a bit off, Piedmont-Sardinia had since 1848 and the introduction of the Albertine Statute been a constitutional monarchy, not an absolute one. That is, it had a King who was largely a ceremonial figurehead, with a Prime Minister and elected Parliament. It was not the fact a unified Italy would have been a dictatorship, but that it would have a monarch, whether a figurehead or not. He was willing to drop his objection to monarchy for the sake of a unified Italy, unlike Mazzini, who was not willing to compromise on that point. Garibaldi was however, more of a realist and pragmatist in that regard.

Great, fantastic surevey...just for the record: Garibaldi was born in Nice (Nizza), that's why (among others) he was totally unhappy with Cavour decision to hand it over to France....a kind of internal psicological warfare among the two as well

As Italian I have to say most of us have no memories. Too many look to very close past, period of Marine Republic of Genoa, Venezia, Pisa and Amalfi, forgetting we share really more. For istance, all dialects have a common base on Latin. Funny fact: England was under Roman control for around 450 years and till now You can find latin-based words: castrum: castle/chester, stratum/street, Londinium/London and so on

Actually the complete unification of Italy was achieved at the end of WW1 when Trentino-Alto Adige/SudTirol became part of the country. In Italy WW1 is also called in some way the "third independence war" and the annexation of SudTirol from Austria is considered the final step of the unification and this is also one of the main reasons of why Italy joined France and UK instead of Austria and Germany in 1915.

Süd Tirol is not part of the unification, Süd Tirol has nothing to do with Italy and will be sooner or later back to Austria where it belongs because let's be clear : people there are not Italians and don't want to stay in Italy.

@konradvonschnitzeldorf6506 5 жыл бұрын

@@alexnoon8042 It is a non issue here really. I can only see big discussions coming up again if italy leave the union. Then, many would probably be more in favor of austria then before. Süd Tirol gets alot of autonomy and special rights, so many people dont care because it isn't really an economic disadvantadge to be part of italy . The tourists brinh tons lf money from both sides of the alps and the cuisine only benefited from the annexation to italy.

Dat Fishe Boi I think years of domination under a foreign country don't really account. If that was the case then we'd be pledging to regain Nizza, Mentone, Briga Marittima and Tenda, and Haute Savoie just because they have been Piedmontese for centuries... Furthermore Corsica has a much stronger identity than Sardinia (for example) and a secessionist movement
