Idea: What if Italy unified during the Renaissance, successfully avoiding the carving of the peninsula by European powers and slowly building an unified state

[@Bordigoid]

As an Italian I think it could be really interesting to see how a unified Italian state would compete with the others European powers. My take is that they end up unified by either the Medici or Venice, in any case it would be a republic, as it was quite common and was the eventual evolution of the northern communal system.

[@matteorizzi487]

​@@Bordigoid we can either get the Magnifico's dream come true, or get them united by getting piece after piece to keep the balance of power in the franco-habsburg struggle

[@no_senseman1719]

​@@stylus_sheath I think they could get the pope's favor, either making him into some important role in this state or at least favoring his personality. We are really talking about a medieval kind state, not a modern unitary one, at least it would start as a confederation and it would be a great opportunity for the pope to shift italy away from the HRE definitely

[@MatteoRomanelli-kl9fb]

What if Italy is unified via the princeps so acclaimed by Maccchiavelli (none other than Cesare Borgia) in the early to mid 16th century? Consequently providing thIs unified Italy with a foothold in Spain due to the obvious Borgia’s origins. This might provIde Italy some interesting opening into the strait of Gibraltar.

This would be quite interesting for the Renaissance as the greater wealth from the lucrative Americas (especially those in modern Peru and Mexico) would help further the funding of things like art, statues and philosophy, which would help in the rise of universities and colleges on the mainland of Florence and the rest of the Italian peninsula. Perhaps the Renaissance would carry on for atleast another century, leading to a resurgence in Italian identity as heirs of Classical Roman civilisation. Another thing to take into account would be the Papal states as that same wealth would enrich the Catholic Church further and empowering their already strong authority.

[@Spoon80085]

If we're going full alt history induced hysteria, we could make it prevent the Protestant Reformation due to the Catholic Church having money from the Americas instead of Indulgences (This is basically impossible, but cool)

[@testascura.1874]

hey great comment but as Italian I have unfortunatly bust this interesting scenario; I have to explain what Renaissance actually was at the time, it was surely a rediscovery of classic culture, but a lot of art stuff was financed by nobles families; but you might think why this happened. It was more of less like the space race in Cold War the "signorie" of center-north Italy were rival, at the time they were the economic power house of Europe, but no one of them was enough strong to unify Italy; so they began to build art masterpieces to flex theyre power; the more beautiful was the court the more important was the signoria Renascence would probably be more philosophy centrated and having signorie alleys each other would likely have turned out in less paintings and less monument/churches. The saved money would be spent in the "compagnia delle indie occidentali italiane" ps sorry for my broken English

[@Spoon80085]

I'm sad you didn't talk about Venice at all. I know the chance of them caring, or participating, is slim (given how ludicrously wealthy trade with the Arab states made them) but the production capabilities of their Arsenal alone make them important for naval dominance. If we're assuming an Italian trading company, investment from the Venetians and Genoans could give them some much needed naval power; they'd also have a, frankly, stupid amount of money to play with. Obviously, this is unlikely and a little unrealistic, but an pan-Italian mercantile empire is basically Renaissance on steroids, and is cool to think about (and I think in the spirit of the topic)

Any Italian state that wanted to colonize outside of the Mediterranean would need either permission from the Iberians to get through the Strait of Gibraltar or a base around said straight, whether it be on the Iberian or African side.

That'd be pure chaos the border could be anywhere and could either not afect the rest of the world or change all colonialism ever. Literally all combinations have happened during the Reconquista, you'd just have a Spain and Portugal/Navarra/Aragon/Valencia, since more than two countries wouldn't be stable in Iberia and allways the bigger one would be called Spain (Hispania, España, Espanha or Espanya).

Maybe those who try to underestimate it are others, in addition to the fact that since the 16th century it was known that Columbus's voyages had not been pioneers, Portugal which had beaten Castile in the maritime race also surely arrived in America (Newfoundland) in 1473, Columbus in fact trained in Portugal, and when he arrived from the Indies his first stop was Portugal, not Spain. The only reason for the Castilian predominance is because the pope at that time (Spanish) was a friend of the Catholic kings and took Portugal out of interest...

Italy would probably have large swathes over north Africa and coastal Balkan lands. Maybe the Mediterranean coast of the middle east Germany would have much of Europe, the rest of Africa, and the European parts of Russia. Japan would have the entirety of southeast Asia and much of Oceania. Depending on when the British surrender, also Australia. They'd have the Siberian parts of Russia and much of the east and central Asia. Britain has two possibilities, they continue the fight and get conquered, or they give up early. Maybe after the fall of France. If they give up early, their empire will largely stay intact. Africa and eventually India being no more. The u.s has a few possibilities, the could fight, and if everything went perfect they'd lose, or they would sell the Philippines and continue selling oil to Japan. I think the Germans might leave the u.s and Americans alone due to its high German populations. Japan will probably see them as a trusted trading partner. I don't think it's improbable that a far right president gets into office, and takes the very slow transition to a dictatorship.

I once had an alternate history idea centered on French and Indian War where the English Colonies were less established and the Indian Nations for more populated. The idea centered on the Western Hemisphere being exposed to Eurasian diseases much sooner, and being able to recover sooner as well. I came up with the idea shortly after come across the concepts in guns, germs, and steel. It's hard to establish European diseases without strong European contact, but I thought maybe Vineland being established longer could have done the trick even if unlikely. If Vineland was even remotely successful, than rumors feeding back to Europe would have been an impetus for colonization before 1492, thus collapsing the whole concept.
