17 март 1861 г. - Unification of Italy from multiple smaller countries and city-states
Описание:
On this day the Kingdom of Italy was formally declared, uniting the long disparate kingdoms and city-states of Italy under the former King of Sardinia. This event was the result of a long period of war and turmoil throughout Italy, as many states chafed under non-Italian leadership and corruption. The monarchy would be abandoned in the mid-20th century following the defeat of Mussolini during World War II, but the sovereignty of Italy has never been challenged.Добавлено на ленту времени:
