24 ago 1871 ano - Annexation of Monaco

Descrição:

Following the annexation of the United Provinces of Emilia, a debate began that was titled the Monaco Question. A lot of people both in Sardinia and Monaco began to wonder whether a continued protectorate in Monaco was even necessary, or if the small principality should just join Sardinia.

The King of Sardinia, Emmanuel II held a plebiscite as to the future of Monaco and in 1871, the Treaty of Monte Carlo was signed, annexing the Principality of Monaco into the Kingdom of Sardinia.

[Note, the corresponding province of Monaco in Sardinia is much larger, as IOTL, France annexed the areas of Menton and Roquebrune, which made up 95% of Monaco.]
