Holy Roman Empire

On April 15, 1863, the Kingdom of Sardinia passed a referendum and elected Napoleon III as king, which opened the prelude to the annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia by France.

There is no doubt that this referendum cannot be the participation of the whole people. Those who are eligible to vote are all social celebrities who support France.

More than 600 representatives of the Kingdom of Sardinia voted Napoleon III as king.To magnify this number of votes by 10,000 times and round it up, is that all Sardinians elected Napoleon III as king.

Prior to this, all the people involved in the killing of the King's case had already completed the trial, the death of the dead, the pass of the pass, and the wanted of running away.

In short, princes must go to hell, which is the common will of all monarchy countries.

As for the truth of the matter, it is not important anymore. The clues are dealt with by the French. It is impossible to reverse the case.

Those who were able to escape from prison were smart people, and they cooperated with the French immediately.

To put it bluntly, everyone knows that the alleged suspect is originally a fallacy.Those who really joined in either ran away or were executed.

Now that the French want to annex the Kingdom of Sardinia, they must eliminate their dissidents, but this must also have a reason, can't they just kill anyone?Taking the opportunity to fabricate false false injustice cases is a good way.

Now the delegations of all countries have left the Kingdom of Sardinia, and in the case of the French family, all things are of course for them to decide.

After the referendum results came out, the international community was naturally in an uproar.Countries default to the annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia by France, but it does not mean that everyone will support their annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

In public opinion, the French were still scolded bloody.Many other internationals are calling for vigilance against the French expansion and avoiding the Second European War.

The Italians, the victims, organized a petition team to seek help from European countries, hoping to use international pressure to force the French to abandon the annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

As one of the big European countries, the Vienna government also received a petition.After reading the petition submitted by the Italians, Franz had to admit that it was very touching, but it was useless.

Franz sneered and said, "Tell them that we regret this incident, but this matter is indeed the culprit of the Sardinian government.

Everyone is responsible for their actions. When the Sardinian government supports extreme organizations, it should consider the possible backlash.

After the incident, the Sardinians also stood on the side of the extremist organization to cover the murderers and escape. Now is the time for the Sardinians to pay for this."

To some extent, the annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia by France is also a good thing.

From now on, the biggest enemy of Italian nationalists is not Austria, but the ambitious France.

The annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia is only the beginning. Once the Pandora ’s Box is opened, it cannot be recovered.

Stimulated by the successful annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the French activists will certainly rise in arrogance. This is no longer a Napoleon III can withstand.

The arrogant French have always had a dream of world domination.

If it was n’t for this stimulus, Napoleon III would barely live in the town, and now he was waiting to be pushed onto the chariot by nationalists!

Prime Minister Felix suggested: "Your Majesty, shall we support the Italians and make them trouble the French, lest the French be forgotten?"

Obviously, after the annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the French had already floated, and they became a bit forgetful, as if they were the world overlords.

This kind of thing, Prime Minister Felix saw it, he was naturally very angry, and wanted to teach them a lesson.

Franz smiled slightly and said, "It is not necessary. Italian nationalists are also our enemies. Let the French take care of them now.

Now that the French are floating, let them float for a while.The overlords on the European continent are now Russians, and the marine overlords are British. Both Britain and Russia are not in their heads. What are we going to do together?"

Now that Britain and Russia have divided up the world hegemony, France and Austria are both second-level challengers. Because everyone's strength is too close, France and Austria will naturally not be willing to surrender.

Franz is not ready to challenge, because the odds are too low, and the benefits are not enough.

There is the most oil and water at sea, but unfortunately Austria cannot compete with the British and can only wait for the opportunity.The income on land is not high, and there are too many countries on the European continent. It is easy to be dragged and buried by the Russians as a whole.

The same situation happened to the French, and it was even more troublesome.The world's second child is not good, especially the army and navy are the second child, innately attracted the boss's hatred value.

With the addition of the words "Napoleon", no one dared to ignore it.Napoleon III inherited Napoleon's legacy and naturally inherited the hatred he left behind.

Even if you act low-key, so arrogant now, it is easy to cause countries to rebound, especially the older generation who has experienced the anti-French war has not died.

Felix said in the opposite direction: "Your Majesty, this is probably not going to work. Now in Austria, even if you want to hide, you might not be able to hide.

The tentacles of the French have penetrated into the south-central region of Italy. If we do not interfere, who knows what the French can do if they are too confident?"

Simply put, France and Austria have already created conflicts in the interests of southern Italy, and it is only a matter of time before conflicts occur.

Franz calmly said: "It doesn't matter, this is a matter of the future. The Kingdom of Sardinia is not so well integrated, and within three to five years the French should be very peaceful on the continent.

After three or five years, the reform of the Tsarist government was also initially completed.The three major European systems are still in balance, and we can move forward with the next step."

It ’s not Franz ’s pride, that ’s the reality.Is the Italian region so easy to annex?Austria has been promoting ethnic integration for so many years, and the slowest progress is in the Austrian Italian region.

This is a cultural issue. Do n’t look at the scattered sand in Italy. It seems to be a weak chicken, but their inheritance is very culturally perfect, and it is no weaker than French culture.

Now in Lombardy and Venezia, the locals have learned German and write in German every day, but the Italian cultural tradition has not disappeared.

After more than ten years of hard work, it can only be said that the Italianized Germanic people have been brought back, and the goal of integrating the Italians is still only the goal.

In contrast, the national integration work carried out by Austria in Bohemia, Hungary, Croatia, and the Balkans has been much smoother.

Many small ethnic groups without cultural heritage are now fully Germanic.Of course, the long-term operation of the Habsburg family is also related. At first, these people recognized this brand.

What is the essence of national integration?

The answer is: agree!

As long as this is done, the following questions are easy to deal with.

If you look closely, you will find that many ethnic minorities in Austria are very similar to the Germans in their living habits.

Some peoples are even called: "Slavic Germans".This means that apart from language barriers, living habits and folk customs have become Germanic.

The main reason for this situation is that the noble lords came from the German region, and the people unconsciously took effect, or in the era of serfdom, the noble lords ordered them to change their living habits.

These special national conditions are the reasons for the smooth national integration.Even though the native language still exists, it has become a dialect.

Most people of this generation will also speak dialects, and the next generation is probably barely able to understand. If they live in cities, it is estimated that they will almost be passed down.

Even after two or three generations in the countryside, these languages ​​will still be broken down because learning is useless.People are inert. Why not learn languages ​​that are not available after birth?

In this era, the average life expectancy is short, and the time of marriage and childbirth is relatively early. Many people have children at the age of 17 or 18, and they will hold grandchildren before the age of 40, which is very beneficial to national integration.

As of now, German has been popularized.This generation of people who have received compulsory education since childhood has already recognized the German culture.

German is used for communication and writing in any town in the empire, with the exception of the Italian region. Seventy to eighty percent of Italians still use Italian for communication outside of work.

Of course, due to the influx of other ethnic groups, this part of the people who insisted on using Italian fell to the sixth floor of the local population.

There is no way, the Italian cultural heritage is not lagging behind, coupled with frequent commercial trade with the central Italian state, this is the case.

Not to mention the countryside, many people have learned German, but they are still accustomed to using Italian in daily life.

If the serf were not liberated at the beginning, and the farmers were bought with land to cultivate their sense of identity with Austria, now the Austrian Italian region will not be so stable.

The French ca n’t do the same thing because the Sardinian kingdom has already done the liberation of serfs.

In addition to attracting local powerful factions, the French government has no way to buy a large number of people at the bottom, which leaves room for nationalists.

Throughout history, the main force of every revolution is the people at the bottom. When have you seen the capitalists rush to charge?

Under normal circumstances, as long as the bottom people live okay and have a high degree of recognition of the government, then there will be no large-scale rebellion.

The degree of acceptance is the biggest shortcoming of Napoleon III. The main reason for the approval of the French people is that he has an uncle who is bullish, not how much he loves him.

The Italians are different. They are very happy to see the Napoleon family become the French royal family.But let them allegiance to the Napoleon family, it will not work.

Originally, everyone did not agree on the origin, let alone annexed by France?If they damage their interests again, then they must raise rebellion.

Promote national integration?Sorry that France does not have compulsory education, how could it be possible to provide compulsory education to the Kingdom of Sardinia first?

When it comes to self-interest, the French people are very sensitive in this regard.Even if the Paris government wants to promote the integration of language and characters, it must also engage in compulsory education in the country.

This involved a series of problems. In short, the Paris government could not do it in a short time.

During the period of military administration, the Kingdom of Sardinia will surely be very peaceful. Once normal order is restored, what will happen is uncertain.
