History of Italy
Modern Italy was formed with the unification in 1861. Italy both before and after marked the cultural and social development throughout the Mediterranean and also influenced the whole of European culture.
In the 8th and 7 century BC Greeks colonized southern Italy and called it Magna Graecia (Greater Greece). At around the same time developed the Etruscan civilization in the northern part of the Italian peninsula. From the seventh to the 5th century BC ruled the Roman kings, followed by the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. The time from the sixth century until its meeting in 1861 was characterized by warring principalities. This time was also marked by rich trading cities like Venice and Florence and the Renaissance here.
Italy was on the winning side in the first World War II and the losing side in the second World War II. After the war, Italy was co-founder of the forerunner of the current EU.
