@@fallsmaps651 I hail from a reality where wood pigeons advanced upon the English folk from 1348 to 1441, cooing decrees of terrible oppression and enforcing pigeon law upon its peons-down with avian autocracy, my good sir, down with it I say!
Good one thing, in 1918-1945 Italy owned a territoy in Yugoslavia after ww1, they did wanted more and were promised more but they didn’t got more, they did get that one territory
The history of Italy covers the ancient period, the Middle Ages, and the modern era. Since classical antiquity, ancient Etruscans, various Italic peoples (such as the Latins, Samnites, and Umbri), Celts, Magna Graecia colonists, and other ancient peoples have inhabited the Italian Peninsula.[1][2] In antiquity, Italy was the homeland of the Romans and the metropole of the Roman Empire's provinces.[3][4] Rome was founded as a Kingdom in 753 BC and became a republic in 509 BC, when the Roman monarchy was overthrown in favor of a government of the Senate and the People. The Roman Republic then unified Italy at the expense of the Etruscans, Celts, and Greek colonists of the peninsula. Rome led Socii, a confederation of the Italic peoples, and later with the rise of Rome dominated Western Europe, Northern Africa, and the Near East. The Roman Republic saw its fall after the assassination of Julius Caesar. The Roman Empire later dominated Western Europe and the Mediterranean for many centuries, making immeasurable contributions to the development of Western culture, philosophy, science and art. After the fall of Rome in AD 476, Italy was fragmented in numerous city-states and regional polities, a situation that would remain until the complete unification of the country in 1871. The maritime republics, in particular Venice and Genoa, rose to great prosperity through shipping, commerce, and banking, acting as Europe's main port of entry for Asian and Near Eastern imported goods and laying the groundwork for capitalism.[5][6] Central Italy remained under the Papal States, while Southern Italy remained largely feudal due to a succession of Byzantine, Arab, Norman, Spanish, and Bourbon crowns.[7] The Italian Renaissance spread to the rest of Europe, bringing a renewed interest in humanism, science, exploration, and art with the start of the modern era.[8] Italian explorers (including Marco Polo, Christopher Columbus (Italian: Cristoforo Colombo), and Amerigo Vespucci) discovered new routes to the Far East and the New World, helping to usher in the Age of Discovery,[9][10] although the Italian states had no occasions to found colonial empires outside of the Mediterranean Basin. Over the centuries, the Italian penninsula was the birthplace of countless personalities such as Dante Alighieri, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Niccolò Machiavelli, Galileo Galilei and Raphael. By the mid-19th century, the Italian unification by Giuseppe Garibaldi, backed by the Kingdom of Sardinia, led to the establishment of an Italian nation-state. The new Kingdom of Italy, established in 1861, quickly modernized and built a colonial empire, controlling parts of Africa, and countries along the Mediterranean. At the same time, Southern Italy remained rural and poor, originating the Italian diaspora. In World War I, Italy completed the unification by acquiring Trento and Trieste, and gained a permanent seat in the League of Nations's executive council. Italian nationalists considered World War I a mutilated victory because Italy did not have all the territories promised by the Treaty of London (1915) and that sentiment led to the rise of the Fascist dictatorship of Benito Mussolini in 1922. The subsequent participation in World War II with the Axis powers, together with Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan, ended in military defeat, Mussolini's arrest and escape (aided by the German dictator Adolf Hitler), and the Italian Civil War between the Italian Resistance (aided by the Kingdom, now a co-belligerent of the Allies) and a Nazi-fascist puppet state known as the Italian Social Republic. Following the liberation of Italy, the fall of the Social Republic, and the killing of Benito Mussolini at the hands of the Resistance, the 1946 Italian constitutional referendum abolished the monarchy and became a republic, reinstated democracy, enjoyed an economic miracle, and founded the European Union (Treaty of Rome), NATO, and the Group of Six (later G7 and G20). It remains a strong economic, cultural, military, and political factor in the 21st century.[11][12] Prehistory Main article: Prehistoric Italy Petroglyph in Valcamonica, Lombardy, the largest collection of prehistoric petroglyphs in the world (10th millennium BC). The arrival of the first hominins was 850,000 years ago at Monte Poggiolo.[13] The presence of the Homo neanderthalensis has been demonstrated in archaeological findings near Rome and Verona dating to c. 50,000 years ago (late Pleistocene). Homo sapiens sapiens appeared during the upper Palaeolithic: the earliest sites in Italy dated 48,000 years ago is Riparo Mochi (Italy).[14] In November 2011 tests conducted at the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit in England on what were previously thought to be Neanderthal baby teeth, which had been unearthed in 1964 dating from between 43,000 and 45,000 years ago.[15] Remains of the later prehistoric age have been found in Lombardy (stone carvings in Valcamonica) and in Sardinia (nuraghe). The most famous is perhaps that of Ötzi the Iceman, the mummy of a mountain hunter found in the Similaun glacier in South Tyrol, dating to c. 3400-3100 BC (Copper Age). The Sassi cave houses of Matera are believed to be among the first human settlements in Italy dating back to the Paleolithic.[16] Dolmen of Monte Bubbonia, Sicily During the Copper Age, Indoeuropean people migrated to Italy. Approximately four waves of population from north to the Alps have been identified. A first Indoeuropean migration occurred around the mid-3rd millennium BC, from a population who imported coppersmithing.[17] The Remedello culture took over the Po Valley. The second wave of immigration occurred in the Bronze Age, from the late 3rd to the early 2nd millennium BC, with tribes identified with the Beaker culture and by the use of bronze smithing, in the Padan Plain, in Tuscany and on the coasts of Sardinia and Sicily.[18] In the mid-2nd millennium BC, a third wave arrived, associated with the Apenninian civilization and the Terramare culture which takes its name from the black earth (terremare) residue of settlement mounds, which have long served the fertilizing needs of local farmers.[19][20] The occupations of the Terramare people as compared with their Neolithic predecessors may be inferred with comparative certainty. They were still hunters, but had domesticated animals; they were fairly skilful metallurgists, casting bronze in moulds of stone and clay, and they were also agriculturists, cultivating beans, the vine, wheat and flax.[21] Ötzi, a natural mummy discovered in the southern Alps (region of Trentino-Alto Adige) dating from the 4th millennium BC. In the late Bronze Age, from the late 2nd millennium to the early 1st millennium BC, a fourth wave, the Proto-Villanovan culture, related to the Central European Urnfield culture, brought iron-working to the Italian peninsula. Proto-Villanovan culture was part of the central European Urnfield culture system. Similarity has also been noted with the regional groups of Bavaria-Upper Austria[22] and of the middle-Danube.[22][23] Another hypothesis, however, is that it was a derivation from the previous Terramare culture of the Po Valley.[24][25] Various authors, such as Marija Gimbutas, associated this culture with the arrival, or the spread, of the proto-Italics into the Italian peninsula.[22]In Sicily, small dolmens dating back to the end of the third millennium BC have recently been found, similar to those found in Spain, Balearic Islands, Sardinia and Apulia.[26] The discoverer of this Culture[27] (whom he named in Sicily "Dolmens Culture") associates it with the arrival on the west coast of Sicily of a cultural wave bringing, the bell-shaped goblet, coming from the Sardinian coast.[28] Nuragic civilization Main articles: Nuragic civilization and Torrean civilization Su Nuraxi nuraghe, Sardinia, Italy, 2nd millennium BC. Born in Sardinia and southern Corsica, the Nuraghe civilization lasted from the early Bronze Age (18th century BC) to the 2nd century AD, when the islands were already Romanized.[29][30][31][32] They take their name from the characteristic Nuragic towers, which evolved from the pre-existing megalithic culture, which built dolmens and menhirs.[33] Today more than 7,000 nuraghes[34] dot the Sardinian landscape. No written records of this civilization have been discovered,[35] apart from a few possible short epigraphic documents belonging to the last stages of the Nuragic civilization.[36] The only written information there comes from classical literature of the Greeks and Romans, and may be considered more mythological than historical.[37] The language (or languages) spoken in Sardinia during the Bronze Age is (are) unknown since there are no written records from the period, although recent research suggests that around the 8th century BC, in the Iron Age, the Nuragic populations may have adopted an alphabet similar to that used in Euboea.[38] According to Eduardo Blasco Ferrer, the Paleo-Sardinian language was akin to Proto-Basque and ancient Iberian with faint Indo-European traces,[39] but others believe it was related to Etruscan. Some scholars theorize that there were actually various linguistic areas (two or more) in Nuragic Sardinia, possibly Pre-Indo-Europeans and Indo-Europeans.[36]: 241-254
As an italian I can say that this video is highly inaccurate for many missing things that should have been mentioned at least: -the main wars of Rome's expansion,such as the punic and macedonian wars and the conquest of Gallia. -The roman civil wars and the birth of the empire -the crisis of the third century -the reason of the barbaric invasions -the 800 years gap between 476 and 1300(italy didn't disappear) -the foreign rulers of Italy(France,Spain and Austria) -the italians wars of unification and the main Risorgimento heroes besides Garibaldi(Mazzini and Cavour played an important role too) -the horrible borders of Italy diring the kingdom period -the italian crisis after WW1 that led to the march on Rome Bro you can't pretend to tell such a long history in 6 minutes by skipping some italian key events. At least make it last 10 minutes or so. Pls don't take this video as the true italian history bc its only an inaccurate overview.
I wish MY country was as rich, as filled with culture and had great history like italy............ i love italy, and france.. and also germany.. I love all of these countries and i look up to them.. i wish my country would be as great as them.. why? Why? Why? why are they so successful even after all they went through? i am genuinely curious, and i want to learn from them
Boy, I don't know where are you from, but believe to me, Italy is everything but great. Our politicians are clowns (literally, everything happened in the parliament), our economy is becoming worser everyday and mafia controls politics. But I could agree that history of Italy is very rich. Lets hope whatever your country is that the situation gets better
Good one thing, in 1918-1945 Italy owned a territoy in Yugoslavia after ww1, they did wanted more an were promised but they didn’t got more, they did get that one territory
@@Zeyede_Seyum Its not the Same.Having 2/3 of Your Lands Occupied and having all of your land occupied is very different. Take China/Modern day Taiwan from WW2 for Example.It technically had like half of its land occupied by Japan.but it was still a standing nation.That's the same with Ethiopia.Ethiopia had 2/3 of its land occupied but still had its independence.
@@commenter4190 You absolutely do not know history do you?If Ethiopia was fully occupied it would be force annexed.But no.There was Ethiopian Resistance fighting in the 1/3 of Ethiopias land left.Maybe actually read history instead of Believing everything on the internet :|.Its common Sense.If a nation was fully occupied there would be no choice but for the Nation to be annexed.
Italy didn't get Trentino-Alto Adige (Trient-South Tyrol) in 1966, they got it in 1914. The entente promised Italy sll the adriatic coast and Trient South Tyrol, but they just gage Trient SouthTyrol and Istria peninsula. You could have talked of 1985 and 1986 political crisis with the USA, but this is still a good video
The modern name "Italy" is derived from the Latin word "Italia," which was used by the ancient Romans to refer to the Italian Peninsula. There isn't any historical evidence to support the claim that it was originally called "hot foot."
And the part between 476-1420? The middle age Was an important age for us Italian!! Why didn’t you explain? I think more interesting than the renaissance!
4:05 "Mutilated victory" is the name given to this even by fascists during the fascist uprising. Better to just mention the fact that Italy was not given all lands as promised, and keep going. Also you missed about 1000 medieval years, don't know how that happened
In 1768, Genoa officially ceded Corsica to Louis XV of France as part of a pledge for the debts it had incurred by enlisting France's military help in suppressing the Corsican revolt, and as a result France went on to annex it in 1769.
