Evolution of specific states
Greece/Byzantine Empire
Byzantine Empire: ca. 330 – 1204; 1261 – 1453
Although usually referred to as the Byzantine or East(ern) Roman Empire today, or even as Byzantium, the empire's official name was
1453 – 1832 Between 1453 and 1832 there was no independent Greek state. During this period the region was ruled by the Byzantine Empire's Turkish successor: the Ottoman Empire.
A confederation of German client-states of the First French Empire
An attempted partial resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire after the Napoleonic wars
A Prussian-dominated successor to the German Confederation following the 1866 Austro-Prussian War
1871 In 1871 the Prussian-ruled North German Confederation was united with the southern German states (except Austria; the so-called Lesser German Solution) to form the German Empire, the first modern German state.
In 774 Charlemagne conquered the Kingdom of the Lombards. However, only northern and central Italy fell under Frankish control (nominally including the central Italian Papal territory). This northern portion later evolved into the Kingdom of Italy (following its partition from Middle Francia in the 855 Treaty of Prüm), and formed part of the Holy Roman Empire from 962. Other than a few periods of personal union with its southern neighbours, the north-south divide would remain until the unification of Italy in the 19th century.
Also known as Francia, the Kingdom of the Franks and the Carolingian Empire
Partitioned from Francia in the Treaty of Verdun along with West Francia (later the Kingdom of France; see above) and East Francia (later the Kingdom of Germany; see above)
Constituent Kingdom of the Holy Roman Empire 951–1806 (although its states became autonomous in 1176 and for most practical purposes it ceased to exist far earlier than 1806)
1805 – 1814
In 1805 Napoleon crowned himself King of Italy and subsequently created a client-kingdom in north-eastern Italy.
Client state of the First French Empire; existed 1805–1814
Southern Italy
774 – 1860
While Charlemagne conquered the northern portion of the Lombard kingdom, the south remained separate, apart from a few periods of personal union, until the unification of Italy in the 19th century. As an single entity, southern Italy was sometimes united, sometimes not, during this period.
While not a united polity, the County of Sicily and Duchy of Apulia and Calabria were both ruled by members of the House of Hauteville (in 1097 by Roger Bosso (uncle) and Roger Borsa (nephew) respectively) and were closely tied.
Italian Unification
1860 – Today
In 1860 the Kingdom of Sardinia united almost all Italian lands into the newly re-formed Kingdom of Italy, and within the next decade the remainder of Italian lands not part of the Austrian Empire/Austria-Hungary, Switzerland or San Marino were also integrated.
Officially the Kingdom/Tsardom of Poland in a personal union with the Russian Empire. Incorporated in a real union in 1832. Fully integrated in 1867 as the Vistula Land
