On July 1, 1871, the Italian government moved from Florence to Rome!!
Happy 137th birthday to the Italian Republic!!
Thursday, September 20, is the 137th anniversary (1870-2007) of the liberation of Rome from the Jesuit-Papal tyranny....It is also the anniversary of the end of the Pope's temporal dominion and the unification of Italy. A year later on July 1, 1871, the Italian government moved from Florence to Rome and the following day King Victor Emmanuel entered Rome.
great piece of history.

VI. House Hohenzollern received the March of Brandenburg in the year 1415 as a fief of the realm from the German emperor Sigismund VII. There was no state of war between Italy and France and thus no fighting, after the French troops had departed Rome the Italians occupied it VIII. The USA had nothing to do with the entire affair. IX. The Italians are entirely Catholic unto this day. X. The Pope is still the head of a sovereign state. XI. World War I was the result of many things but not the Pope

V. Neither the Prussian nor the Italians learned anything from the US, the War of Succession barley was noticed in Europe at its time and become only important in later studies due to the rise of the USA as global hegemony power. VI. There is no avail in whining about Prussia being protestant as Prussia was the state of religious tolerance (see Frederick the Great); only the rise of political Catholicism caused the Culture Fight. VI. The kingdom Prussia was created by Frederick I in 1701!

Good Lord! They said that education goes limp in the US but I did not know that it was that bad! I. Italy is a republic since 1946 after the monarchy was abolished, under the House Savoy by Count Cavour. II. France protected the Pope since the days of Pepin the Short, father of Charles the Great. III. The French Army was not considerably weakened in Mexico but was badly commanded in the war against Prussia. IV. Austria and France were not allied and France neutral in 1866.

And as for the glorious new protestant empire of germany well 44 years later ww1 would start mainly because of the powerhungry kiaser willhem II remember your precious america fought against germany, but not from the begining, no they joined towards the end unlike france who fought the war from start to finish (not running for the hills that time) Also the great unified italy promised to join germany in the war but didn't, they waited till the end to see who would win then joined in.

also victor emmanuel didn't even care about southern italy, it was a backward place with no cultural or economic bennefit to him. He would have been quite happy to leave those people to their dictator, he only accepted south italy from garabaldi to avoid having garabaldi march onto rome which would involve the french and potentially spoil all of his plans. Victor emmanuel only fought easy battles and was scared of doing anything to upset the french. This man was not a hero.

There is no evidence that victor emmanuel was poisoned and 58 wasn't young in those days. Also your glorification of the new italian king is rubbish, cavour was the master behind italian unification and he did it with sneaky underhand tactits much like your protestant hero the warmungering bizmark. And as fir garibaldi, he liberated southern italy from a weak army who mostly ran from his army because they were dressed in red and believed to be british

What does the U.S flag have to do with the Liberation of Rome? I would have thought that the U.S was a idol type figure to them, seeing as the American revolution had sparked the majority of the European revoultions.
