Oh the story behind Russell being our first capital is so crazy. Basically there are two places called Russell, known in Maori as Okiato and Kororāreka (using their Maori names will help). Originally Govenor Hobson thought Kororāreka would be a good place for the captial but sadly this port had become a hive of scum and villainy. So instead he bought land 5km south in Okiato and called the place Russell. Kororāreka was then called the Port of Russell and they were collectively treated as one. It didn't take long till Hobson regretted this decision and moved our capital out of Russell to Auckland. With no reason to ever go to Russell (Okiato) anymore, the place became basically abandoned and the Port of Russell (Kororāreka) eventually dropped the "port of" so we have two Russells. To add to the silliness, both areas have the same councils, are very close and have such low populations that keeping them separate makes no sense. But even today we often call them Russell/Kororāreka and Old Russell/Okiato and treat them differently. Anyway TL;DR Okiato is both technically right and wrong as our first capital as the place was called Russell at the time but isn't the Russell we think of as Russell even though the two should be one but isn't for unknown reasons. We Kiwis are total idiots sometimes haha

In Spain there's a famous story about the Duke of Lerma, right hand of King Philip III. He was the King's most trusted man and held such influence in the political decisions that he managed to convince the King to move the government and capital to Valladolid. He did this because he held several properties in the area, being named capital the value of these increased, making him a lot of money after selling them. Then, the Duke bought more properties in Madrid and convinced the King to return to the old capital again, profiting from the exact same scheme once again.

🇮🇹ITALY: Constitutional capitals: Turin (1861-1865), Florence (1865-1871) Rome (1871-1946) Provisional government seats: Brindisi (1943-1944) Salerno (1944) Constitutional capital: Rome (1944 to present day)

Perhaps outside of your timeframe, but the case of Italy is interesting as the unified state always intended to have Rome as its capital but nonetheless had several before it finally managed to annex the city from the Papal States 150 years ago.

Montserrat changed its capital recently due to the volcano exclusion zone rendering their previous capital useless. Bermuda changed theirs from St. Goerge's to Hamilton, but that was 200+ years ago.

The most interesting thing I can take away from this is that its nearly more common for the capital to move than it is for it to stay in the same place. I think most of us think of a place like Rome. Sort of, the center of an imperial state. A state its own in a sense. But in modern Nations, the Capital is a negotiated piece to be moved around for politics. The capital isn't actually the value. Its the history and sites associated with it. A sort of shared memory that adds to the brand.

During the Roman Empire itself, the capital moved at least twice, first to Mediolanum (Milan) and then to Constantinople when the west fell (simplified).

In 1840, the capital of New Zealand was Okiato (also known as Old Russell), then the year after it was moved to Auckland and finally, in 1865 the capital was moved again to Wellington which is still the capital today.

Italy moved many times. Torino (1861-1865).Florence (1865-1870).Rome (1871 current). In 1944 capital had moved in Salerno for WWII.

There was no capital of Australia before 1901, as all the colonies that ended up constituting it were independent of each other until then. From 1901 to 1913 the actual capital was Melbourne and the Federal Parliament operated from there, moving core functions in 1927 to Canberra when it was sufficiently built. Even then it took quite a long time to move it all.

Japan has an interesting history of changing capitols. Every time there was a new ruler (shogun, emperor, etc.) , the capital city was supposed to relocate. From the beginning of the Meiji era, the the capitol relocated from Kyoto to Edo/Tokyo, and has remained there ever since. Other capital cities were Kamakura, Osaka, Kanazawa, and Nara, just to name a few. This could be an interesting video in and of itself. China has also moved capitals. China's Four Great Ancient Capitals would also make for an interesting video.

The Italian nation (meaning a group of people who feel a sense of shared community based on language, culture and historical heritage) existed way before the unification. Traces of Italian shared culture can be seen as far back as the 1200s, when the vulgar languages started to be used in place of Latin, and there was always a common sense of what it means to be "Italian". It's true that we lived for a long time divided into smaller kingdoms, each with its own unique identity, but that was mostly a political division that originated from contingent historical reasons, not a cultural one. The unification itself couldn't have happened at all if there was no Italian nation that wanted it to happen.

If memory serves, there was another, earlier capital in the north, under the Spanish.
