 Italian Mafia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
During the Fascist period in Italy, Cesare Mori, the prefect of Palermo, utilised special powers to fight mafia activities, and his work resulted in many mafiosi being jailed or forced to flee abroad.
In Italy in particular, there has been a long history of police prosecutors and judges being murdered by the mafia in an attempt to discourage vigorous policing.
There is some evidence that in Italy law enforcement seems to be finally gaining the upper hand over the mafia organisations, through stronger laws and the breaking down of the "code of silence".

 Napoleon I of France - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Bonaparte was a brilliant military strategist, able to absorb the substantial body of military knowledge of his time and to apply it to the real-world circumstances of his era.
He was also a master of both intelligence and deception, using spies to gather information about opposing forces while seeking to conceal his own deployments, and often won battles by concentrating his forces on an unsuspecting enemy.
Furthermore, the Napoleonic Wars also exported the Revolution to the rest of Europe, and it is believed that the movements of national unification and the rise of the nation state, notably in Italy and Germany, were rooted in and precipitated—if not caused—by the Napoleonic rule of those areas.
