Italian unification was completed at the end of World War I with the annexation of Trieste and Trento, with the respective territories of Friuli Venezia Giulia and Trentino. The Kingdom of Italy had declared neutrality at the beginning of the war, officially because the alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary was a defensive one, but actually to get the best offer for its contribution to the war. Austria-Hungary requested Italian neutrality, while the Triple Entente its intervention. With the London Pact, signed in April 1915, Italy ...

The national party, with Garibaldi at its head, still aimed at the possession of Rome, as the historic capital of the peninsula. In 1867 he made a second attempt to capture Rome, but the papal army, strengthened with a new French auxiliary force, defeated his badly armed volunteers. This led to the French army of occupation being returned to Civita Vecchia, where it was kept for several years. In 1870, the Franco-Prussian War started, and French Emperor Napoleon III could no longer protect the Papal States. Soon after, the Italian gov ...

In the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, Austria-Hungary contested with Prussia the position of leadership among the German states. The Kingdom of Italy seized the opportunity to capture Venetia from Austrian rule and allied itself with Prussia. Austria tried to convince the Italian government to accept Venetia in exchange for non-intervention. However, on April 8, Italy and Prussia powers signed an agreement that supported Italy's acquisition of Venetia, and on June 20, Italy declared war on Austria-Hungary. Within the context of Italian unification, the Austro-Prussian war is called Third Independence War, a ...

In January 1848, revolutionary disturbance began on the island of Sicily. Soon, revolution was spreading throughout the continent. In February 1848, the French King Louis Philippe was forced to flee, and a republic was proclaimed. It was inevitable that this disturbance would spread to Italy, and indeed revolutionaries forced constitutions upon most of the Italian rulers, while uprisings in Milan and Venice temporarily ousted the Austrians. Soon, Charles Albert, the King of Sardinia, decided that this was the moment for unifying Italy ...

The Carbonari ("coalmen") were groups of secret revolutionary societies founded in early 19th century Italy, and instrumental in organising revolution in Italy in 1820, 1830–1831 and 1848. They were organised in the fashion of Freemasonry, broken into small cells scattered across Italy. Idealistically, they sought the creation of a liberal, unified Italy through spontaneous rebellion by the working class, led by university students and intellectuals. There was also an anti-c ...

The establishment of the Italian Republic and later of the Kingdom of Italy, ruled by Napoleon, began to spur nationalism in those who lived in the region. As Napoleon's reign began to fail, other national monarchs he had installed tried to keep their thrones by feeding those nationalistic sentiments, setting the stage for the revolutions to come. Among these monarchs were the viceroy of Italy, Eugène de Beauharnais, who tried to get Austrian approval for his succession to the Kingdom of Italy, and Joachim Murat, who called for Italian patriots' help for the unification of Ital ...

San Marino claims to be the world's oldest republic still in existence, founded in 301 CE by a skilled builder referred to as St. Marinus. Legally part of the Roman Empire at the time, its foundation does not correspond to its legal existence. Its written constitution was adopted on October 8, 1600. The tiny nation was recognized by Napoleon's France in 1797, and by the other European nations at the 1815 Congress of Vienna. Although a sovereign nation, it is strongly dependent on Italy, by which it has been completely surrounded since that coun ...

In November 1875, activists of the Bulgarian Revolutionary Central Committee met in the Romanian town of Giurgiu and decided that the political situation was suitable for a general uprising. The uprising was scheduled for April or May 1876. The territory of the country was divided into five revolutionary districts with centres in Vratsa, Veliko Tarnovo, Sliven, Plovdiv and Sofia. In the progress of the preparation of the uprising, the organisers gave up the idea of a fifth revolutionary district in Sofia due to the deplorable situatio ...

Anita Ribeiro was born into a poor family of herdsmen and fishermen in Morrinhos in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina a year prior to that country's independence from Portugal. She was raised by her mother Aninha do Bentião, who apparently had been abandoned by her husband, Bento "Bentão" Ribeiro da Silva. Anita married Manuel Duarte Aguiar in 1835. Meanwhile, Giuseppe Garibaldi, a Ligurian sailor turned Italian nationalist revolutionary, had fled Europe in 1836 and was fighting on behalf of a separatist republic in southern Bra ...

Maximilian landed at Veracruz on May 28, 1864; but from the very outset he found himself involved in serious difficulties since the Mexican liberals, led by President Benito Juárez, refused to recognize his rule and there was continuous warfare between his French troops and the Mexican republicans. The Emperor and Empress set up their residence at Chapultepec Castle, located on the top of a hill in the outskirts of Mexico City that had been a retreat of Aztec emperors. Maximilian ordered a wide avenue cut through the city from Chapul ...

The autochthonous peoples of Sicily, long absorbed into the population, were tribes known to Greek writers as the Elymians, the Sicani and the Siculi or Siceli. Of these, the last were clearly the latest to arrive on this land and were related to other tribes of southern Italy, such as the Italoi of Calabria, the Oenotrians, Chones, and Leuterni (or Leutarni), the Opicans, and the Ausones. Sicily was colonized by Phoenicians and Punic settlers from Carthage and by Greeks, starting in the 8th century BC. The most important colon ...

In 1801, the Irish parliament voted to merge Ireland with England, thus creating the United Kingdom. Ireland remained under total British control until 1922, when the majority of the Irish counties, and the majority of the Irish population, broke away from England, forming the Irish Free State. The northern counties remained loyal to British control, and to this day remain separate from the rest of Ireland as Northern Ireland. On May 17th, 1814, Norway left Danish control and declared independence. It was forced, however, to continue ...

By the early 1860s, skirts had reached their ultimate width. Day dresses featured wide pagoda sleeves worn over undersleeves or engageantes. High necklines with lace or tatted collars or chemisettes completed the demure daytime look. Evening dresses had low necklines and short sleeves, and were worn with short gloves or lace or crocheted fingerless mitts. Heavy silks in solid colors became fashionable for both day and evening wear, and a skirt might be made with two bodices, one long-sleeved and high necked for afternoon w ...

Revolutionary inventions call for a similar 'revolutionary' change in one or many human societies. Examples may include the haber process's effect on agricultural production in first world countries, or the textile mill. Paleontologists call for division of prehistoric human societies along what could be considered 'revolutionary' inventions, eg. two ages of early and late stone working, settled agriculture, etc. For a better listing of popularly accepted revolutions, see the art ...

Ideologically, Revisionism advocated the creation of a Jewish state on both sides of the Jordan River, that is, a state which would include the present-day West Bank and all or part of the modern state of Jordan, which was split off of Mandate Palestine as an Arab state later, in 1946. All three streams, Centrists who advocated a British style liberal democracy, and the streams who would become Irgun and Lehi, supported Jewish settlement on both sides of the river (and so did some parts of Labour Zionism, such as Ben Gurion's Mapai party), b ...
