Whether to go to Germany or not, the Emperor of China no longer attaches great importance to it, because from the attitude and hints of Count Andrách, the Emperor no longer has illusions about the great powers, and in the final analysis, a country can only rely on itself.If the strength is not enough, we will use more powerful means to diplomacy."
The more others don't value us, the more we need a strong backer, and the more we can't show it."
Emperor Hua suddenly said to Princess Katrina Kaf.Princess Katrina Kafu nodded: "That's the case, otherwise we will be in a very disadvantageous position, Germany is not very strong, we are too far away for them, Germany is actually far away for us, and there are not too many overlapping interests between the two sides." ”"yes, so I'm going to look at a few more countries."
Hua Huang rubbed his little chubby paws."
I'm going to see if they've sorted out the information," Princess Katrina Kafu said to Emperor Hua: "Because Your Majesty changed the itinerary temporarily, our previous intelligence collection on Italy and Spain was not very specific. ”"Okay."
Hua Huang smiled slightly, Princess Katrina Kafu is always very caring.The Kingdom of Italy was a political entity under the control of the Carolingian dynasty of the Frankish kingdom after the defeat of the Lombards by the Franks in 774.Later, after the partition of the Frankish kingdom in 888, the kingdom was re-established as an independent kingdom.Eventually, in 961 the kingdom was incorporated into the Holy Roman Empire.The Lombard kingdom was relatively stable than the previous Ostrogothic kingdom, and in 774 Charlemagne led the Franks to conquer the Lombard kingdom in the name of protecting Pope Hadrian I.Charlemagne maintained the independent form of the Italian Kingdom of Lombard, but the kingdom still accepted the division of the Franks, participated in their civil wars and disputes over the succession of the Franks, and finally the Kingdom of Italy gradually broke away from the control of the Franks at the end of the ninth century and became a semi-independent state.In 951, King Otto I of East Francia proclaimed himself King of Italy after his conquest of Italy.After Pope John XII crowned Otto Holy Roman Emperor in St.
Peter's Basilica in 962, the confederation of East Francia and Italy under his rule formed the foundation of the Holy Roman Empire.The central government of the Italian region quickly disappeared in the middle of the Middle Ages, but the concept of the "Kingdom of Italy" remained.By the time of the Renaissance, the "Kingdom of Italy" was seen only as a fiction, only as a title of Holy Roman Emperor, and the Lombard Iron Crown was the crown of the kings of Italy.After Charles IV determined the Seven Electors, the Holy Roman Emperor stopped coming to Rome for his coronation, and the Kingdom of Bohemia became the only kingdom in the empire.The title of King of Italy was completely abandoned, and the medieval Kingdom of Italy officially withdrew from the stage of history.In 1796, Napoleon led the French army into northern Italy and destroyed the Duchy of Milan, which was controlled by Austria.In 1798, the two republics merged to form the Republic of Chisarpine, a puppet state under the First French Republic, with its capital still in Milan.In 1802, it was renamed the Italian Republic, with Napoleon himself as the head of state.In 1805, it was reorganized into the Kingdom of Italy, as a puppet state under the First French Empire, with Napoleon himself as king, covering the northern and central eastern regions of present-day Italy, with the capital in Milan.In the same year, after the victory of Austerlitz, the French Empire signed the Peace of Pressburg with Austria on December 27, in which Austria ceded Venice to France and Napoleon annexed Venice to the Kingdom of Italy.In 1814, Napoleon abdicated, and the First French Empire fell, along with the Kingdom of Italy.At the subsequent Congress of Vienna, the Kingdom of Lombardy and Venicia was established in the former kingdom territories, with the Austrian Emperor still serving as king.In 1859 the Lombard Ministry was divided into the Kingdom of Sardinia.In 1866, the Venetian Ministry was partitioned into the newly formed Kingdom of Italy.In the 50s of the 19th century, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Cavour, actively pursued a "top-down" unification policy, and through the efforts of him and Garibaldi and others, the Kingdom of Sardinia was renamed the Kingdom of Italy in March 1861, with the capital of Florence.The Kingdom of Italy continues to seek unity.In 1866, Italy took the opportunity of the Austro-Prussian War to recover the Venetian region.However, Rome and its nearby Papal States were still divided by the French army.When the Franco-Prussian War broke out in 1870, Italy took advantage of Napoleon III's repatriation of French troops in Rome to launch an attack and occupy Rome on September 20.Italy merged with Rome, and Pope Pius IX had to retire to the Vatican.At this point, the great cause of Italian unification was completed, opening up prospects for the development of capitalism, but still retaining many feudal remnants.In January 1871, the capital of the Kingdom of Italy was moved from Florence to Rome.The most liberal period of post-unification Italy and society as a whole was marked by differences in class, language, etc.Italy shares a common cultural identity, social conservatism, and patriarchal values.In other areas, Italian culture is divided.The families of the aristocracy and the upper middle class were highly traditional at this time.Italian society often has a history of fighting each other.In addition to this, literacy was an issue of the times, with the 1871 census indicating that 619 percent of the population was illiterate, and 757 percent of women in Italy were illiterate.The illiteracy rate was much higher than in Western European countries at the same time.The Italian government tried to reduce illiteracy during the period of freedom by establishing state-funded schools to teach Italian.The worst place for public education was in southern Italy, as it received the least amount of funding at the time.The standard of living was low, and during the period of freedom, especially in southern Italy, there were frequent outbreaks of various diseases, such as malaria and epidemics.Initially in 1871 there were 30 deaths per 1,000 people with a high mortality rate, which was reduced to 242 deaths per 1,000 in 1890.In addition, the mortality rate of children in the first year of life was 227 per cent in 1871, while the mortality rate of children before the age of five was very high, at 50 per cent.Between 1891 and 1900, the survival rate of children was 176 percent lower for each year of birth.After the unification of Italy, the new kingdom faced serious economic, political, social problems.During the liberal period, the Italian economy remained highly dependent on foreign trade and international prices for coal and grain.After reunification, Italy remained a predominantly agrarian society, with 60 percent of the population engaged in agricultural activities.With technological advancements, foreign competition, and a rapid shift in export opportunities, agriculture has developed rapidly.However, these developments have not benefited all the Italian people, and southern Italy suffers from summer heat and drought that destroy crops.Italy is the largest exporter of wine in Europe.In the 70s of the 19th century, the Italian government invested heavily in the development of railways, and from 1870 onwards, more than twice the length of the railway was built.Compared with Italy, the situation in China is almost like this, but China is much larger and more, China has completed the most basic railway construction, from south to north, from east to west, the speed of railway construction in China, no country can catch up, this is the huge force of the population base The current king of Italy is Umberto I, who has just taken over power from Vittorio Emanuele II.The son of Victor Emmanuel II, born in Turin and educated in the military, he first entered the war against Austria in 1866, where he remained calm at the defeat of the Battle of Custoza and succeeded to the throne on 9 January 1879.The domestic economy of the Kingdom of Italy at this time was mainly controlled by Prime Ministers Francisco Crispi and Giovanni Giolitti who took turns to come to power.The country's population has grown from 28 million to 32 million, but poverty has caused 6 million people to emigrate.The Kingdom of Italy belonged to the German-Austrian sphere of influence, and the tariff war with France caused serious economic difficulties, and despite the limited resources of the country, he pushed Italy to participate in the arms race, and the army was expanded from 10 armies to 12 armies with 420,000 men; The navy built the best battleships of that era, ranking fourth in the world, second only to Britain, France, and Russia, and even surpassing Germany and Austria-Hungary, and was very powerful.In the division of forces in Europe during this period, Germany and Austria were even the winning side, not only Italy, but also a group of countries in the Balkans, including the Kingdom of Spain, all belonged to the category of German and Austrian influences.t1706231537:
