[@DarthBalrogTV]

Watching this videos ppl around the world can easily understand some reasons why there is so big difference btw italians of the north, middle and south. ...and even btw the east and the west of Italy. So is it quite hard to say how the Italians are. (For economical and historic cause, the majority part of the Italians that live around the world come from the south of Italy). One of the reasons that Italy remained divided for a long time is the immense wealth accumulated from different cities, such as Venice, Milan, Pisa, Genoa, Florence, Livorno, Siena (first bank in the world f.e.)... to name a few. Each of these cities had a wealth comparable to entire nations in Midieval Europe. Florence alone could match the wealth of the whole England in high middle ages. And when you are rich you can have a good army with the most advanced technologies (in Milan were produced the best armors of Europe f.e.), you don't want that someone else tell you what to do or not to do. Later... When the wealth and the power of the Italian cities fell, it was possible to unify Italy. Although the pope and the church have done everything, to the last, to prevent it. Today, the differences bring to Italy some nice things such as the big variety of food, cultures and ideas. But some not so nice... Anyway, Italy is a very various country full history. Where you can enjoy also a nice ladscape with high mountains, hills, plains, lakes, sea, any kind of shore, islands (big and small), and all these very close and... in a wonderful weather! ^^

@@ace_amello-yt5939 The lombards were assimilated into OUR italian culture. Not the other way around. When they came into the peninsula they numbered 100,000-150,000 while the native population was around 4,000,000-6,000,000. There is a reason why we have the second closest language to Latin under sardinian. Edit: Also, what makes the Italians less latin? We speak the second closest language to it (first closest in terms of languages that are widely spoken), our architecture is similar (that is inevitable to change due to technology), the gene pool was not shifted after the germanic invasions due to the native population vastly outnumbering the invaders, so I honestly dont get why people say that we aren't Latin. It's like saying the greeks aren't as hellenic as the ancient greeks just because their culture evolved.

Until Napoleon came along, Venice did pretty well and managed to stay independent and out of the way. Even had the Adriatic side of Greece for awhile. Genoa was a similar story until Malta and Spain needed good Catholics just as Protestantism was in its infancy to fight off the Turks. Then they got screwed. The rest of Italy was as it was in Shakespeare's plays, independent city-states trading and fighting depending on the mood.

[@Jakez408]

Actually Venice first got screwed by the Portuguese and later the Dutch.Venice had the monopoly on the spice trade up to around 1500 when the Portuguese opened new colonies in the East Indies and brought the spices directly to Europe.The Portuguese first discovered Australia.After 1700 Venice went into a steady decline.

In the first centuries after the fall of the western empire the eastern empire had managed to keep it's roman culture and use of latin. Only later did it slowly convert to a greek culture and started the use of greek within the empire. So while its correct that greek culture and language had a enormous affect on the society of the enpire, (especially in its later years), it was still an empire with roman origins.

There are a lot of elements in the "risorgimento" that decides to try this: the middle class in the north, students and intellectuals expecially. The Piedmont Sardinia kingdom, at the behinning, wanted just to expand his territory. The south, expecially Sicily, didn't feel this, and wanted just to be free from theyr stupid monarcs. The Pope, the cause of Italy's no-union for centuries, was inglobated expecially thanks to the defeat of France against Prussia. Really summarized, hope you'll complain

[@Sondariut]

+marcolino269 hope you'll complain? That's odd ^^

[@DariBenetka]

+YangSing1 They didn't, it was imposed. The historical background is that the kingdom of Piedmont was facing bankruptcy and sought expansion in northern Italy. The kingdom of Two Sicilies was by far the richest portion of the peninsula at the time thus, sponsored by external powers like France and England, Giuseppe Garibaldi conquered it and gave it to the king of Italy. The last part of the country, Lombary-Venetia, was annexed 5 years later after Prussia won a war against Austria-Hungary that was forced to cede it.

Very very nice! Great work!Some corrections: Aquileia instead of Aquila; you should have to put Lombard-Venetian Kingdom (signed as Austrian domination or personal union); during 1848 revolutions the Venetian rebels on Austrians and founded "St. Mark Republic" based on most part of Venetian mainland (Venice, Padua, Treviso, Vicenza and Rovigo), that lasted for one year and an half, after crash in 1849; you should have put also the period of Italian civil war in the later part of WW2 (1943-45) with Italian Social Republic (dependent from Germany, with Operations Zones and frontlines as occupation), Italian "Southern" Kingdom, and resistance/partisans; Free Territory of Trieste (Allied administration 1945-47), the change of post-WW2 treaty and Osimo Treaty of 1975; the italian trust administration over Somalia (1950-60).

[@OllieBye]

+KlausVonKuste 1) Point taken, it should be Aquileia 2) Lombardy-Venetia was integrated into the Austrian empire, it wasn't an independent entity. 3) By the end of 1848, those rebellions had been pushed back to individual cities, and they didn't show up properly on the map. Every slide on here is as of 31st December. 4) There's no way I can show partisans, the information isn't out there. 5) About Italian Somaliland, I was running out of time, so I had to cut the video short. I showed it in my World History video anyway, so it's not entirely lost.

[@napoleonnss]

It was Roman Empire. "Byzantine" exists only in certain books.

[@GeluTavi]

napoleonnss The 'Roman Empire' of the 6th century that you refer to differed so much from its Latin ancestor, that historians have agreed to call it the 'Byzantine' empire to avoid confusion. :)

[@napoleonnss]

Tavi The Roman Empire was evolving from 100 BC. There was no change in the official regime though, from 31 BC and the Imperio to 1204 (or 1453). Historic periods are characterized as "Late" instead, e.g. Late Hellenistic. Some refer to the term "Byzantine" starting at 330 AD, others 620 AD and some at 1054 AD or 1204. Rather an unsubstantiated alias causing more confusion than clarity.

[@GeluTavi]

napoleonnss Thanks for giving me a bunch of dates surrounded by rather poorly backed statements. That really contributed a multum to our discussion. Anyway "certain books" is quite an understatement. Name me even one respected historian who is referring to the Byzantine empire as the 'Roman Empire' anywhere after Justinian I. Of course the Byzantines called themselves Romans right until the 1453 as far as I'm aware. Also, to understand better why we say Byzantine rather than Roman Empire, I suggest a quick read of the top few paragraphs in the Wikipedia article on the Byzantine Empire :) Hint: Official language changed to Greek, religion changed to Christianity, Capital changed to Constantinople :)

[@napoleonnss]

New Rome (Constantinople) and Christianity were status quo far before Justinian. When historians as you mentioned, consider Roman Empire and not Byzantine. It is not easy to recall a state that changed it's official language (620 AD) and is assumed a different one. Most of the historians until the 20th century accepted 'East Roman Empire' . Allow for arguments on that ground.

Wrong!! The History of Italians starts with the foundation of Rome(753 b.C.E.)

[@TheAnarchistBeekeeper]

WRONG, Romans and Italians are two different things: the culture, traditions, dialects of modern italians are based on medieval/rennaisance Italy.

[@francescolaruffa3441]

No! You are wrong! The ethnicity is the same, the identity of the people of Italy is recognized in this, the culture is the same, which developed from the Arcaic Age of pre-Roman Italy through the native cultures, the Villanovans and Italics ones then to continue to evolve and to assume their own characteristics,it is from these that the romance culture of the modern Neolatin-speaking states derives its origins, and of course in the course of the history it has had different cultural influences that have consequently brought variations of different kinds to what it was the basic cultural element of the origins,as in fact happens to every nation that, going ahead in the history,comes into contact with other worlds and therefore has received certain cultural aspects of these(depending on how events develop). Throughout its historical and cultural path,the Latin culture has undergone various cultural influences which have introduced new elements that have contributed to the its development,the most significant among them was the Greek one,which at least since the 3rd century (B.C.E.),this exerted an ever more prevalent influence in the Roman world. When the Roman Empire first split into two trunks and then collapsed under the shots of the barbarians of the northern Europe, the unity that bound its peoples broke and there were no direct links between them,which, while expressing themselves in the same language (with its variants) and recognizing itself in the same basic cultural identity,They developed by assuming their own (both cultural and linguistic) aspects,articulating independently of each other and giving way to the cultures of modern Neolatin-speaking states,different from each other but having the same cultural matrix from which they are linked, that is the archaic one Latin culture.As far as the Italian language is concerned, it derives from an evolution of vulgar Latin,which was the talk of the plebeians, middle classes and poor people of society,this Latin was quite distinct from the Latin spoken by the Roman elite. When the nobility gradually lost its power because of the barbarian invasions,the language of the low and middle-low classes took over,and the division of the Italian peninsula facilitated the development of dialects.The Italian language, like the other Romance languages, is nothing more than an evolution of the Latin language.

This is a beautiful and detailed video, But why didn't you include the Roman empire? I recount that in the history of Germany you took into account the holy Roman empire.. Why the double standard? Italia is a Latin term who come as far as the principate of emperor Augustus, who gave exclusive Roman citizenship to all the inhabitants of the ITALIA peninsula, so the concept of Italy as a united nation comes most and foremost from the Roman empire, then italians basically had thousand of years of political division but the culture and innovations remained always nationals pretty much throughout the centuries (look at medieval and renaissance art, Italian paintings and churches styles are decisively Italian, they can be easily compared to one another) that's what it counts at the end of the day

Forces of the Ottoman Empire invaded and laid siege to the city and its citadel. After capture, more than 800 of its inhabitants - who refused to convert to Islam - were executed. The Martyrs of Otranto are still celebrated in Italy. A year later the Ottoman garrison surrendered the city following a siege by Christian forces.

Riccardo Noce I'm not saying Venice should be independent I'm just saying it's stupid from you Italians to want Istria and Dalmatia when Italy itself never controlled it(except in WW2)..... Venice being Italian doesn't change anything. Plus Italians are now minority in both of those regions. They never really were a majority, it was always around 50/50 in terms of population.
