A lot of what is now the French Riviera like the city of Nice(Nizza) belonged either to Genoa or to the kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont as did the Alpine region of Savoy which is where the Italian royal family came from.The areas were given to France in mid 19th century in return for French support against the Austrians.

@@cebuano6150 "French" is probably the wrong word as France as we know it took hundreds of years,even more,to reach the dimensions it has today.Historians believe that the house of Savoy emerged from the Burgundian kingdom which gradually became culturally French over the centuries and politically at a much later date but having its origins in the Germanic migrations of the Burgundian tribe.Their capital was at Annecy I think but this dynasty expanded south into Piedmont,absorbing other states that were culturally more Italian and eventually made their capital in Turin.They picked the right side in the War of the Spanish Succession which was the anti-French side and as a reward they were given a lot more territory including the island of Sardinia and the duchy was elevated to the rank of a kingdom and it adopted the name of that island as the name for the whole place but Piedmont and Turin was its main focus.It also acquired the territories once occupied by the powerful republic of Genoa including the French Riviera areas.

Corsica has been a part of physical italy from the conquest of the first punic wars. It was also formaly part of the italian provence during WRE, before it had ties with etruscan due vicinity with tuscany. Also the video is blatant lies, usa and france history always omit what happened. Genoa didn't sell a dam thing. He asked france military help forming a contract, the isle was used as mortage. What happened was france used genoa weak position after sign the contract and didn't send the troop properly to re establish order. So genua didn't recap corsica, but still had to pay the contract due. Since it couldn't due mortage's rules they had to turn corsica to france. Any talk about corsica beeing sold to france is a blatant lie. But france interest in italy has always been so that by whatever mean necessary it had to get some stuff from here(and not only that, has it has been explained everyone want a piece of italy...) Likely corsica ppl should decide if being part of italy or be a sov state like they intended. Of couse ppl in italy would love to have em back here with us. Geography speaking it would also make more sense since it's in the middle between sardinia and piemont. That would solve a lot of transport problem...really a lot....

Thank you! Comments like that keep me going!

Thanks for the very accurate video. To keep Corsica after Pontu Novu, Louis XVI of France proposed a deal to Corsican influential families: if they swear obedience to him, he will declare them nobles, implying specific jurisdiction, being free of taxes and reserved employment in French administration and army. That's how Napoleon became a student in French military school, then a junior artillery officer. End of Corsican-English kingdom occurred when general Bonaparte seized Leghorn, the main naval basis of Royal Navy in Italy, just in front of Corsica. So France could easily support the opponents to British occupation and to the personal power of British governor. As Genoa did, British discovered that Corsica is rather a mountain than an island, that cannot be controlled from the sea shore; Pozzo di Borgo, expelled by Napoleon, was so revengeful that he spent 19 years wandering across Europe to build alliance against French Republic, then Empire. Meanwhile, having two Corsican emperors (Napoleon I and Napoleon III) during 19th century, and a lot of influential job in French state and administration, made a lot to weaken the independence movement. Corsican independency could be on the table in 20 years. Corsican local government is constantly trying to get more power from national government, especially in education trying to promote Corsican language and a very biased Corsican history celebrating independence, so that next generation will massively vote for them - the same tactic as Catalunian independence movement of the last 30 years. But French citizenship and patriotism is still praised by most inhabitants, who just ask more cultural independence, and know how supportive the national government is economically and above all legally, against the numerous mafias intermingling with the local politicians.

The Great Central American hero Jose Francisco Morazan was actually Morazzani. His grandfather was a Corsican immigrant to America. It seems generals who accomplished great feats run in the history of Corsica and those who's veins flow with Italic Corsican blood.

If you think about it, if that Corsican revolution happened a mere 20 years later, the French would be defeated by Napoleon, and Corsica would be the one taking over France instead.

Dude that is fucking cool.

Pasquale Paoli , Corsican patriot, statesman, and military leader, "Babbu di a Patria" (Father of the fatherland). "We are Corsicans by birth and sentiment, but first of all we feel Italian by language, origins, customs, traditions; and Italians are all brothers and united in the face of history and in the face of God ... As Corsicans we wish to be neither slaves nor "rebels" and as Italians we have the right to deal as equals with the other Italian brothers ... Either we shall be free or we shall be nothing... Either we shall win or we shall die (against the French), weapons in hand ... The war against France is right and holy as the name of God is holy and right, and here on our mountains will appear for Italy the sun of liberty...". Paoli wanted Italian to be the official language of his Corsican Republic. His Corsican Constitution of 1755 was written in Italian and the short-lived university he founded in the city of Corte in 1765 used Italian as teaching language.

Wonder what the French leadership would have though if they have known that with that island they also purchased their future emperor. It's quite intriguing to think about what could have happened if Napoleon would have lived in an independent Corsica or one that formed part of some pre-italy state like Genoa indstead of France.

I see a lot of negativity when it comes to this topic, some say that Corsica should be italian, other French and other still say it should be indipendent. As an Italian I don't see a problem if corsican people want to remain French, we're already part of the same European Union anyway (even though I think it should be strengthened by making it a federation, like Germany or the USA), and I won't see a problem if they want to join Italy or become indipendent either. The only thing I think France should do is to recognise and starting to preserve the corsican language and culture. Corsican and all the other regional languages of France (like Breton and Occitan) should be thought in schools so to preserve the identity and cultures of these communities. Same should happen in Italy: it's very ironic how the italian government does a lot to protect non-endemic languages spoken by minorities in Italy (such as German, French, Greek, Albanian, Occitan, Catalan ecc.) but doesn't even recognise other languages native to Italy as such. Besides Sardinian and Friulan (which are the only two languages native to Italy recognised by the government) also Lombard, Piedmontese, Venetian, Ligurian, Romagnol, Neapolitan and Sicilian are Italian regional languages but people and the government don't recognise them as such, referring to them simply as dialects.

As an italian, I've always found it weird to look at the map and see that the island of Corsica, so clearly inside the italian geographical region, so clearly italian in the toponyms, was not part of Italy. It really looks like a geographical mistake. The corsican language is like 95% intelligible for the average italian, and people who have been there and know the island well always tell me it feels like being in Italy. I am no one to claim that they should join Italy, but for their glorious history and culture I think they deserve full recognition of their mother language and culture or even independence.

@@menolarose No, it doesn't bother me because it isn't closer to France. The original regional language there is actually Arpitan, a romance language which links northern italian languages to Provenzale and French. So, french was declared an official language alongside italian at a regional level to recognize this specificity, also because there isn't a standardized version of Arpitan, which is a dialectal continuum. Personally, I think they should choose a standard variety of Arpitan and make it the official language alongside italian; this would make a lot more sense. But, you know, the special status was recognized after WW2, we were on the wrong side of the fence and had to please the french "winners" somehow. By the way, while Arpitan varieties are still widely spoken, absolutely no one speaks french as a mother language in Val d'Aosta and never did; they study it at school and you see bilingual signs around the region, that's it. Some location names and surnames sound frenchy to an italian ear, but they're Arpitan.

@@calogerohuygens4430 per favore, ci volle un intero secolo solo perché i francesi domassero le ribellioni, e tra il 1769 e il 1840 i corsi furono indipendenti altre due o tre volte prima di crollare, ma non si arresero lì, e ebbero più violente proteste contro i militari francesi. i banditi d'onore ne hai mai sentito parlare? non erano criminali, erano resistenza contro la colonizzazione prima che la resistenza fosse una cosa. e la corsica divenne ufficialmente francese come in, una regione e un territorio francese, e non una colonia, solo negli anni 1880 quando fu colonizzata anche l'Algeria. nel 1985, dall'85% al ​​90% dei corsi parlava solo corso e usava il francese quando era obbligato a causa dell'ambiente sociale. E solo la metà della popolazione era contraria all'indipendenza l'unica volta che ci fu una domanda ufficiale a riguardo, perché temevano che lo stato dell'isola tornasse alla miseria com'era prima degli anni '80, una fioritura della corsica che si è guadagnata grazie un misto di resistenza violenta - ancora una volta - e democrazia tra l'altro; non provare a dirmi cosa è successo nel mio paese e quanto tempo ci è voluto per essere assimilati e francesizzati.

@@fiefie8980 i corsi che conosco (delle città costiere) praticamente sono francesi. Eravate degli italici ma vi hanno inculcato che Genova (e quindi tutti gli italiani!) erano dei dominatori stranieri rapaci e malvagi. I Francesi son stati bravissimi, ve l'hanno fatta buttare nel cesso la vostra cultura a forza di bastone e carota. E dire che il corso è talmente simile all'italiano e al siciliano che mi sembrate dei compaesani, ma la realtà è che con gli italiani non ci volete avere a che fare. Che dire: addio. Anzi: Adieu.

@@AldTar Nominally yes, but the Savoyards were basically gifted that kingdom only a century before, historical Sardinia had nothing to do with it. Moreover such "kingdom" was fraudulently created by some dodgy pope in the 13th century in order to be handed to the Aragonese for the sole purpose of balance of power at that time, again to the expense of Sardinians who were happily and independently governing themselves with the Judicates at that time.

Genova was black mailed by France! France offered to help Genova to repress the rebellion at condition of paying and feeding the french army in corsica, well the french army just remained in the genovese forts doing nothing, and Genova couldn't do anything because the army responded only to the french king. So they just waited until Genova run out of money and the solution was to "sell" the island. This is the truth.

CORSICA IS NOT FRENCH !!

Corsica is historically, geographically and culturally Italian. And from a legal point of view? She is equally Italian. The Republic of Genoa, with the Treaty of Versailles, ceded to France only the temporary possession, not the property of the island. Corsica, therefore, can become independent with the help of Italy.

Honestly, as a frenchman, go ahead. Corsica is a money pitfall anyways for France. Better to spend money on the continent rather than to maintain corsica on the same standard as France if Corsicans aspire to be independant. But the reality is, Corsican politicians are aware of this dependance; and would simply never accept full independance; because they know it would be their doom.
