Italy just celebrated the founding of its republic, which was in 1946...
- cratermoon 5y agoSo no state called "Italy" existed in more-or-less the same form before 1946?
- floren 5y agoTrue, the disparate Italian states were unified into the Kingdom of Italy in the 1860s, so it's older than Israel but younger than the US.
- strken 5y agoItaly was unified back in the 1800s, so this is stretching the truth a little. It existed as a kingdom well before becoming a republic. It also has a surprisingly long list of separatist movements[0], which it has has thus far refrained from bombing with US-funded F16s.
