The Italian Wars

Italian war Italian war 1494 - 1559: - Introduction: The main problem of the Italian war is mainly economic incentives for France 's Charles VIII. He declared that he planned to use Naples as a base to drive the Ottoman Empire from Europe and to release Constantinople. In fact, his main motivation is a long-awaited prospect of self-glory and getting some beautiful war awards. On the way, he will get the wealth of urban and mobile art. As Charles acquired potential competitors like England's Henry VII, Ferdinand, Maximilian, intrusion seems to be planned for two years.

In 1494, during the reign of Charles VIII, France began the first phase of the Italian war (1494 - 1559), and a series of conflicts between Italy and Spain occurred in Italy ("Italian war is the Renaissance Govern ".) Chapter) 2). During the war, France and Spain had a complex political alliance - in fact, they even fought on the same plane at the same time. At different times, these alliances included the power of the Holy Roman Empire, the Holy See (the Italian Prince ruled by the Pope), and mercenaries (hired soldiers) from other countries like Switzerland. Discussions on whether France or Spain have the power to rule Naples and Sicily has continued since the 13th century. In 1266 France's Charles I (Anjo Charles; 1227-1285; rule 1266-85), the youngest brother of Louis X captured the throne of Naples and Sicily (called the two Sicilian kingdoms)

In the 1520s, the Italian war fused with the greater struggle between France and Spain and the Austrian Habsburg dynasty, struggle continued intermittently for a century and a half due to territorial conflict. The war in Italy was finally concluded by the Convention - Can Brace Treaty (1559) negotiated by Henry II, the son of Francis I. France abandoned all requests to Italy, but acquired three strategically located territories at its eastern border - bishops of Mes, Tours and Verdun.

By 1870, there were approximately 25,000 Italian immigrants in the United States, many of whom were refugees from northern Italy, accompanied by a unification struggle of Italy and independence from foreign domination. Between 1880 and 1924, more than 4 million Italians migrated to the United States, half of which escaped from rural poverty in southern Italy and Sicily between 1900 and 1910 . Today, Italian Americans are the fifth largest ethnic group in America.

The outbreak of war lit Italian nationalism, initially being strongly supported by various political groups. One of the most famous and popular Italian nationalist advocates of war was Gabriele D'Annunzio, who promoted the revival of Italy and helped the Italian people to support the intervention war. The Italian Liberal Party under Paolo Boselli promoted intervention in Allied warfare and used the Dante Aligeli Association to promote Italian nationalism.
