Thanks for a million views everyone!

So much aggressive expansion penalty. Hope they cored all that land.

Wow, I never realised Sardinia managed to unite Italy in barely 1,5 years. Impressive!

Italy could have sided with Germany in the Franco-Prussian War, taken back Nice and Savoy and possibly Corsica

wow Italy and Germany cleaned up some border gore... GO ITALY AND GERMANY!

As someone who's entire heritage is German and Italian, this video makes me smile

I still find it kind of incredible that the Pope used the ancient Aurelian Walls to defend Rome against the Italians in 1870. Didn't work out too well with modern weapons and all..

And people in San Marino don't pay taxes since 301 AD.

Remember the good old times when Germany didn't need to bother Belgium to invade France? Those were the times...

When you think about it, Germany and Italy have the same story. Both emerged from the Holy Roman Empire collapsing, both were all of these separate states, both united in the same time, both fought against Austria for their unity, both were a kingdom/empire. Both had economic problems after WW1, both had dictators run their country, both became allies in WW2, both lost WW2, and Both became top economies in Europe during and after the cold war.

Imagine if someone had to draw the map of europe in the mid 1800's

Fun fact: Bismarck opposed the annexation of Elsace lorraine.

france: wow germany stop it

Germany, Italy, and Japan all unified at the same time. Why were the 1860s so popular for this?

Italy and Germany: two great countries with a similar history, the first managed in ancient times and the middle age to give birth to incredible things, the second has becoming a working powerhouse in no time, showing the effect of hard work. Great!

This was a video I've wanted to do for a long time. Also thank you so much for 75,000 subscribers! The nationalist comments video should be ready in a week or so. Enjoy!

Germany was using iSorrowsproductions tactic and driving with trucks into Paris!
