	Byzantine Empire - Phantis
		The Byzantine Empire is the term conventionally used to describe the Greek-speaking Roman Empire during the Middle Ages, centred at its capital in Constantinople.
		The Eastern Empire was largely spared the difficulties of the west in the 3rd and 4th centuries, in part because urban culture was better established there and the initial invasions were attracted to the wealth of Rome.
		The empire was also by now noticeably different in religion from the former imperial lands in western Europe, although the southern Byzantine provinces differed significantly from the north in culture and practiced Monophysite Christianity rather than Chalcedonian Orthodox.

	History Of Italy
		Many Italians are afraid of being appreciated only for their past; yet, for a proper understanding of present-day Italy, it is necessary to go back to pre-Roman times, at least seven or eight centuries before the present era.
		Political tensions in the Italian states arose primarily from the refusal of the restored Italian rulers to share power with the propertied classes, who were in large part landowners.
		Italian soldiers were sent as "volunteers" to fight for General Francisco Franco in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), and Albania was occupied in 1939.

	History - WOI Encyclopedia Italia
		The Italian "province" was privileged by Augustus and his heirs, with the construction, among other public structures, of a dense mesh of roads.
		The architects of Italian unification were Count Camillo Benso di Cavour, the Chief Minister of Victor Emmanuel, and Giuseppe Garibaldi, a general and national hero.
		However, both the central empires and the Triple Entente tried to attract Italy on their side, and in April 1915 the Italian government agreed (London Pact) to declare war on the Austro-Hungarian Empire in exchange for several territories ([Trento], Trieste, Istria, Dalmatia).

		In 1874, the Italian states coalesced into the Italian Empire, a federal state on the model of Germany under the hereditary rule of the King of Piedmont-Sardinia.
		Though the Italian Empire constituted one of the Great Powers of Europe, Italy's attempt to gain worldwide influence was undercut by the mind-numbing poverty and illiteracy in the south of the Italian Empire.
		Italian culture also enjoyed a golden age, as the Futurists -- avant-garde artists and writers who hoped to renovate the ancient pieties of Italian culture along the streamlined and innovative lines of the new industrial world -- made themselves known worldwide as exciting innovators.

		Following the rise of the fascists to power in Italy in 1922 and the official downfall of the Ottoman Empire, which had had nominal suzerainty over Libya, Italian forces went on the offensive to extend their control over the entire country and, by the early 1930s, managed to quell all forms of national resistance.
		The Italians now realised that the Egyptians were fully aware of the situation at the front and that any further attempt to deny it was futile.
		As the build-up of Italian forces continued in Libya, El-Nahhas informed the British ambassador that he had received a letter from former prime minister Ismail Sidqi who was at the time on holiday in a Belgian spa, suggesting that Cairo conclude a non-aggression pact with Rome.

		Unlike the Italians the Austro-Hungarians were starting from virtual scratch as far as battleship construction was concerned, but over the years they were to develop shipyards and heavy industry to support a growing fleet.
		Meanwhile the Italians and the French could never shake off the mood of cool relations and never agreed to joint command or a joint fleet, much to the chagrin of the British who were junior partners in the Adriatic.

	The Armchair Empire - Classic Gaming: The Italian Job
		Luckily, The Italian Job has enough going for it that, if one is able to look past its considerable shortcomings, the game ends up being well worth the price of admission (especially considering the title is available new for only $10 (US)).
		To add further value, The Italian Job also features a cool multi-player mode called Party Play which allows the player and up to six friends (for a total of up to seven players) to compete in any of the other modes in the game (save for Free Ride of course).
		If The Italian Job was a full-price PSX game, it would still be worth buying for those sad folks for whom the PSX is their only gaming system.

	History of Italy and its Italian Heritage

		After the failure of the Italian campaign in Greece, Nazi agents took over the key positions in Italy, and the once proud nation was rapidly reduced to the position of a German puppet.

	Empire (style) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As it was intended to idealize Napoleon's leadership and magnify the increasing stature of the French state, the Empire style was created by French designers who drew heavily for their inspiration on symbols and ornamental designs borrowed from the glorious empires of ancient Greece and Rome.
		As such, French Empire became a state-sponsored design movement that soon spread to and affected every field of aesthetics, most notably in architecture in such grandiose Neoclassical structures as the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, Vendome Column, and La Madeleine, which were built in Paris to emulate the famous edifices of Imperial Rome.
		In the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States, the Empire style was adapted to local conditions and gradually acquired further expression as the Egyptian Revival, Greek Revival, Biedermeier style, Regency style, and late-Federal style.

		Fascism was based on a strong nationalism, and praised all military activities which should have re-established a powerful Italian empire, inspired by the glory of ancient Rome.
		Another curious difference concerns the unique combination of courts: the knave is missing, replaced by a cavalier (a knight in armour), while a queen ranks second to the king.
		The graphics of the deck, yet of innovative conception, follows rather sober guidelines (it is interesting how two unusual colours for regional patterns, such as navy blue and cream, extensively used, come together with the more conventional golden yellow and deep red).
