| ARTICLES RELATED TO Giuseppe Garibaldi | | | |  Giuseppe Garibaldi: Encyclopedia II - The Leopard - CharactersThe central character in the novel is Don Fabrizio Corbera, the charismatic Prince of Salina, who dabbles in astronomy and mathematics. Fabrizio recognizes the tremendous changes coming to Italian society and what that means for himself, his family, and the aristocracy in general.
Don Fabrizio's nephew, Tancredi Falconeri, plays a supporting role as a new form of aristocrat, one who parlays the declining value of his family name into political power through his interpersonal skills and via marriage to the wealthy and beautiful but untitled Angelica Sedora, daughter of the crude Don Calogero Sedora, who has made his money by capita ...

| | | | | | Giuseppe Garibaldi: Encyclopedia II - The Leopard - Background di Lampedusa was the last in a line of minor princes in Sicily, and he had long contemplated writing a historical novel based on his grandfather, another Prince of Lampedusa. After the Lampedusa palace was bombed and pillaged by Allied forces in World War II, di Lampedusa sank into a lengthy depression, and began to write Il Gattopardo as a way to combat it.
Most of the novel is set during the time of the Risorgimento, specifically during the period when Giuseppe Garibaldi, the hero of Italian unification, swept through S ...

| | | | | Giuseppe Garibaldi: Encyclopedia II - House of Bourbon - Early Bourbons of Spain and Italy The Spanish branch of the House of Bourbon was founded by Philip V. He was born in 1683 in Versailles, the second son of the dauphin, the son of Louis XIV. He was the Duke of Anjou and probably never expected to be raised to a rank higher than that. However when King Charles II of Spain was dying without issue and he adopted Philip as his heir, being the great grandson of King Philip IV of Spain. Having a Bourbon king on both the French and Spanish thrones disturbed the balance of power in Europe and when Charles died on November 1, 1700 a G ...

| | | | | Giuseppe Garibaldi: Encyclopedia II - Sicily - Sicilian language Main article: Sicilian language
Many Sicilians are bilingual in both Italian and Sicilian, a separate Romance language, descended from Vulgar Latin, with Greek, Arabic, French, Provençal, German, Catalan and Spanish influences. It is important to note that Sicilian is not a derivative of Italian. Although thought by some to be a dialect, Sicilianu is a distinct language, with a rich history and a sizeable vocabulary (at least 250,000 words), due to the influence of the different conquerors of, and settlers to, this land ...

History of Rome - Barbarian and Byzantine rule.
In 476, the last Western Roman emperor Romulus Augustus, a puppet (like almost all emperors of this period) in the hands of a general, his father Orestes, was deposed by a riot of barbarian troops led by Odoacer and exiled to Naples. The fall of the Western Roman Empire had little impact on Rome. Odoacer and later the Ostrogoths continued, like the last emperors, to rule Italy from Ravenna. Meanwhile, the Senate, even though long since stripped of wider powers, cont ...

On 30 April, the French Foreign Legion earned its legendary status when the small infantry patrol unit led by Capitaine Danjou numbering 62 soldiers and three officers was attacked and besieged by Mexican infantry and cavalry units numbering three battalions, and was forced to make a defense in Hacienda Camarón. Danjou was mortally wounded in the defense of the hacienda, and the last of his men mounted a ...

| | | | | | Giuseppe Garibaldi: Encyclopedia II - Frederick Townsend Ward - Early Life Frederick Townsend Ward was born in Salem, Massachusetts on November 29 1831. Salem, still most famous then and now for the Salem Witch Trials, was a town of seafarers and industry, and of hard, practical men and women. However, a certain Yankee trait of hypocrisy in the service of hard-nosed business interests was also held in esteem, or at the very least, politely left unacknowledged. By way of example, one may note that “even at the outbreak of the American Civil War, masters of Salem shi ...

| | | | | | Giuseppe Garibaldi: Encyclopedia II - Papal States - The Donation of Pippin and the Holy Roman Empire When the Exarchate finally fell to the Lombards in 751, the Duchy of Rome was completely cut off from the Byzantine Empire, of which it was theoretically still a part. Pope Stephen III acted to neutralize the Lombard threat by courting the de facto Frankish ruler, Pippin the Younger. Stephen gave church sanction to Pippin's desire to depose the Merovingian figurehead Childeric III and take the throne himself; he also granted Pippin the title Patrician of the Romans. In return, Pippin led a Frankish army into Italy in 754 and 756. Pipp ...

| | | | | Giuseppe Garibaldi: Encyclopedia II - German Empire - Conservative modernization Bismarck's domestic policies played a great role in forging the authoritarian political culture of the Kaiserreich. Less preoccupied by continental power politics following unification in 1871, Germany's semi-parliamentary government carried out a relatively smooth economic and political revolution from above that pushed them along the way towards becoming the world's leading industrial power of the time.
Not only did German manufacturers capture German markets from British imports, by the 1870s, British manufacturers in the staple in ...

| | | | | Giuseppe Garibaldi: Encyclopedia II - Frederick Townsend Ward - Filibustering Outside of his many engagements as a sailor during the 1850s, Ward would find employment, perhaps most satisfactorily, as a “Filibuster”. “Filibustering” is perhaps best described as “raising private mercenary armies and leading them into other countries to advance either [one’s own] schemes or those of wealthy sponsors”. (Carr, 58). Ward would find employment with the infamous “King of the Filibusters”, William Walker, in Mexico, where he learned firsthand the actual practice ...

| | | | | Giuseppe Garibaldi: Encyclopedia II - Frederick Townsend Ward - Shanghai Newcomer According to a contemporary account written in early 1862, Ward and his brother arrived in Shanghai, China in 1860 for the purpose of trading, perhaps as an extension of their father’s New York office. This may be true, but given Ward’s activities in the 1850s it is almost certain that Ward had ulterior motives for his return. We can be sure he had little respect for the Shanghai business practices, which he dismissed as “lying, swindling and smuggling”. (Carr, 97). Their arrival coincided with ...

Local industry is presented by aerospace, machine-building, automobile, military, iron and steel industry, engineering, metal traders and processors, timber, woodwork, pulp and paper, food, light, chemical and industry of construction materials, and one of the major ports of the Azov Sea.

It also seems apparent that the main character of the Tom Cruise movie, "The Last Samurai", was inspired by the Frederick Townsend Ward. Cruise's involvement in the earlier attempt to make a film specifically a ...

| | | | | Giuseppe Garibaldi: Encyclopedia II - Frederick Townsend Ward - In Modern Memory Just as in life, the momentous events of the American Civil War would overshadow Ward’s accomplishments, in death, the fame he deserved would be overshadowed by that of another man. After Ward’s death the command of the Ever-Victorious army would pass to his second in command, Burgevine, but ultimately to Charles George Gordon, aka "Chinese Gordon", an officer of the British Army.
Gordon’s biographers would frequently diminish, and occasionally completely disregard Ward’s accomplishments in creating an effective Army for Gordo ...

| | | | | Giuseppe Garibaldi: Encyclopedia II - Frederick Townsend Ward - Death in Battle Ward would lose his life at the head of his force in an attack against the city of Tz’u-ch-i, (aka, the Battle of Tzeki) in a coordinated attack with Western (British and French) and Imperial forces. On September 21st, at the base of the city wall, he fell, shot in the abdomen. For this first time in a career that included 15 battlefield wounds, he allowed himself to be taken from his men.
As he lay dying, Ward dictated a will to ensure his brother, sister and Chinese wife would be cared for after his death. On the morning of September 22, 1862, at the height of his fame, Ward passed away, leaving behi ...

| | | | | Giuseppe Garibaldi: Encyclopedia II - Frederick Townsend Ward - Shanghai Foreign Arms Corps It may be surprising to modern American and Chinese readers to learn that in 1860, both Chinese and Westerners would place more faith in a small, motley group of mercenaries than readily available local citizenry, but one must realize that the average Chinese of the time had little understanding of marksmanship, nor much impetus to defend the Manchu throne. Further, with Taiping armies edging closer to Shanghai, there was no time to t ...

| | | | | Giuseppe Garibaldi: Encyclopedia II - Papal States - The Renaissance During the Renaissance, the papal territory expanded greatly, notably under Pope Alexander VI and Pope Julius II. The Pope became one of Italy's most important secular rulers as well as the head of the Church, signing treaties with other sovereigns and fighting wars. In practice, though, most of the Papal States was still only nominally controlled by the Pope, and much of the territory was ruled by minor princes. Control was always contested; indeed it took until the 16th century for the Pope to ha ...
