The History Of The Star Wars Galaxy (Legends) {By SimoTheFinlandized - (c) 2021 CE}

The History Of The Star Wars Galaxy (Legends) {By SimoTheFinlandized - (c) 2021 CE} | ===========================================
HISTORY OF THE STAR WARS UNIVERSE (Legends):
(Written By SimoTheFinlandized - (c) 2021 CE)
===========================================
IN THE BEGINNING...
===========================================
Some thirteen billion years before the Battle Of Yavin,
an immense cloud of gas and dust collapsed under its
own gravity and coalesced to form a revolving disk,
creating the galaxy. Over many more billions of years,
the stars and planets began to form. By 5,000,000,000
BBY, life had begun to evolve in the galaxy, with some
of the earliest examples of non-sentient life developing
on the planet Goroth Prime. Around 2,000,000 BBY,
many of the galaxy's most well-known species were
evolving: the Wookiees began on Kashyyyk as a species
of tree-climbers. The Oracle Of Pelgrin, quite possibly the
oldest artifact in the galaxy, was believed to date from this
period. By 200,000 BBY, the Zhell, ancient ancestors to the
Humans, had developed an advanced stellar fusion-age
civilization and were waging war against the near-human
Taungs for control of their mutual homeworld of Notron,
later known as Coruscant.
==============================================
THE EARLIEST CIVLIZATIONS:
==============================================
By 100,000 BBY, a mysteriously ancient yet extremely
highly-advanced race known as the Celestials dominated
the entire galaxy. Also known as the Architects, this
spectacularly powerful Force-Sensitive race was believed
to have been capable of manipulating and moving the
very stars: surviving Celestial machinery like Centerpoint
Station and the Cosmic Turbine could manipulate gravity
on a titanic scale with repulsor pulses, tractor beams, and
hyperspace wormholes. With this technology, the Celestials
were believed to have been responsible for building the
Corellian system, the Vultar system, and at least 15 other
star systems, as well as the Hapes Cluster, the Kathol Rift,
and the Maw black hole cluster. Pre-Republic specialists
believed the Celestials to also be responsible for the
hyperspace disturbance beyond the edge of the galaxy,
possibly as a defense against outside interference. They
were also believed to be responsible for the chain of
hyperspace anomalies west of the Core that bisected
the galaxy and prevented travel into the Unknown Regions.
Speculation holds that the Celestials had crafted the hyperspace
anomalies that bisected the galaxy in order to contain the
Rakata's Infinite Empire. A number of other advanced
space-faring races around this time became servants
and clients of the Celestials. The insectile Killiks of
Alderaan were exploited as laborers and were seeded
across the galaxy, until around 30,000 BBY when they
disappeared into the west of the galaxy and into the
Unknown Regions, presumably relocated by the Celestials.
The Kwa and Gree species made use of FTL-space-travel
structures known as the Infinity Gates and Hypergates,
respectively, to travel between planets and star-systems,
and thus came into territorial conflict with each other.
Other advanced species fled to escape the Celestials:
the Sharu Civilization of the Rafa system located far in
the galactic east had a brief period of expansion,
spreading their iconic plastic pyramid cities as far into
the Core as Aargau, but this may have attracted the
attention of the Celestials and the Sharu thus buried
their great pyramid-cities and sought refuge in primitivism
in order to escape them. Likewise, the Columi of the planet
Columus made surveys of both the Humans and the Duros
in the Core Region and were unimpressed by what they found,
but also fled back to their homeworld, perhaps to avoid
retribution from the Celestials.
=================================================
RISE OF THE RAKATAN INFINITE EMPIRE:
=================================================
Around 35,000 BBY, the domain of the Celestials was
usurped when the imperialist Dark-Force-sensitive
Rakata slave race revolted. Stealing both very highly-
advanced technology and the knowledge of utilizing
the Force from the Kwa Civilization, they waged war
against the many other servant races, and broke through
the barrier surrounding the Unknown Regions into the
galaxy proper and waged a war of complete extermination
upon the Celestials. The eventual fate of the Celestials was
unclear. They may have been trapped inside the galaxy by
their barrier and destroyed by the Rakata slave-revolt, or
they may have escaped through the barrier. By 30,000 BBY,
the Celestials were nowhere to be found, and the Rakata's
Infinite Empire had taken center stage. The newly-arisen
advanced space-faring Rakata species fanned out from
their homeworld of Lehon in the Tempered Wastes of the
Unknown Regions, using FTL hyperdrives that channelled
the power of the Force to guide them to worlds with strong
Force signatures. The Infinite Empire occupied a considerable
scattering of systems across the galaxy, but very vast tracts
of territory between these holdings remained untouched,
allowing smaller interstellar confederations to flourish.
The Devaronians and the Gossam experimented with the
tumble hyperdrive and scouted to explore the galaxy, and
while worlds like Coruscant, Corellia and Duro were occupied
by the Rakata, the native-species of the Humans, Duros,
Selonians and Drall were able to study the principles of
the Rakatan FTL force-hyperdrive. The Rakata proved to be
exceedingly cruel masters, consigning entire subject
populations to bitter slavery. After nearly five thousand
years of dominance, the Rakata-ruled Infinite Empire
collapsed after a devastating plague swept through the
Empire that stripped the Rakata of their ability to use the
Force. A massive colonial slave revolt finished off the empire
by 25,200 BBY.
=============================================
RISE OF THE GALACTIC REPUBLIC:
=============================================
The decline of the Infinite Empire coincided with the
reverse-engineering and perfection of Rakata hyperdrive
technology by the other species of the galaxy. Developing
technological replacements to its Force-based components,
various advanced space-faring species struck out from their
homeworlds, first with slower-than-light sleeper-ship colonies,
followed by the development of the rather unpredictable
hyperspace cannon. Through this re-use of Rakatan castoffs,
a number of civilizations asserted themselves: the Humans and
Duros dominated the Galactic Core, while the cetacean Herglics
built up their own trade empire to the south. On the Rim, Human
sleeper-ship colonies formed the Tionese civilization, which was
united into a single powerful empire by a Tionese warlord named
Xim The Despot, before coming into conflict with the empire of
the kleptocratic mafia-style slug-like Hutts. This period coincided
with the beginning of the Jedi Order on the planet Tython with its
studies of the Force, as well as the religious rivalry between
understandings of the light and dark sides of the Force.
Conflict between the Jedi and the Dark Jedi would assert
itself several times throughout galactic history, a cycle that
would continue beyond the Yuuzhan-Vong War. In 25,000 BBY,
in the aftermath of the Unification Wars, the various highly-advanced
space-faring planetary-states of the Core assembled on the
city-planet of Coruscant and signed the Galactic Constitution,
establishing a civilization under a common law, language and
currency, proclaiming the Galactic Republic. The Republic
united the largely-Human Core Worlds, and the Core-World
Founders included prominent political players like Coruscant
/ Alsakan / Corellia / Duro / Kuat / Alderaan, powerful
military-strongholds like the Azure Imperium based on
Axum / Anaxes / Esseles / Rendili, emerging commercial
hubs like Tepasi / Brentaal IV / Humbarine, and worlds
important to the medical, diplomatic and philosophical
arts, like Chandrila / Caamas / Rhinnal / Shawken.
=================================================
THE EXPANSIONIST ERA:
=================================================
The Expansionist Era coincided with the foundation of the
Galactic Republic and saw the beginnings of the official
charting and settlement of much of the galaxy's eastern
spiral. Scouts pushing east from Coruscant moved up two
trade routes, the Perlemian Trade Route and the Corellian Run,
which formed the boundaries of a vast wedge of space known
as "the Slice". At the end of the Corellian Run lay Kalarba, a
trade hub maintained by the merchants of Paqwepori, while
the Perlemian led to the trade worlds of Tirahnn, Nouane, and
Roche. No similar corridors were found to the galactic west,
which resulted in much of that quadrant of the galaxy remaining
unexplored and mysterious, becoming known as the Unknown
Regions. This expansion saw the Galactic Republic come into
conflict with the advanced space-faring Human civilizations of
the Tion Cluster. After its victory in 24,000 BBY, the Galactic
Republic swelled with more territory than it could initially
govern as many systems clamored for protection against the
depredations of the Hutt Domains.
==================================================
THE GREAT MANIFEST AND INDECTA ERAS:
==================================================
The Great Manifest Period began in 20,000 BBY with the
widespread settling of the eastern Slice, with the dense
web of star-systems at its tip becoming known as the
Arrowhead. This region became heavily-dominated by
Coruscant while Corellia dominated settlement around
the Corellian Run. Rivalry between Coruscant and Alsakan
over policy on the Perlemian Trade Route sparked the First
Alsakan Conflict in 17,000 BBY, the start of the Indecta Era,
and though peace would be brokered between the two, the
Alsakan Conflicts would continue in an abbreviated form for
some 14,000 years. The first five Alsakan Conflicts also
discouraged settlement along the Perlemian, pushing
colonists to the Corellian Hegemony in the Trailing Sectors
along the Corellian Run and the growing Corellian Trade Spine.
==================================================
THE KYMOODON ERA:
==================================================
The Kymoodon Era, opening in 15,000 BBY, ushered another
colonization boom on par with the Great Manifest Period.
Improvements in the hyperdrive allowed many odd pockets
of colonization to spring up in the unexplored northern and
southern quadrants, and the Herglic Trade Empire joined the
Republic, beginning a surge in development around the
Hidakai Pool, which would become the Rimma Trade
Route. However, the era stored up the seeds for future
conflict, as the Republic's borders increasingly abutted
those of Hutt Space, leaving isolated colonies open to
raids by Hutt slavers.
=================================================
THE PIUS DEA ERA:
=================================================
Widespread resentment of the Hutt Empire on the Rim was
tapped by a statesman named Contispex I and the
humanocentric Pius-Dea religious sect to begin a series
of Crusades against the Hutts in 12,000 BBY. The millennia-long
Pius Dea Era would see many non-Human species conquered,
persecuted, or exterminated until the Contispex political-dynasty
was overthrown by the Jedi Order, and would foment extreme
resentment among the species of the Rim. The subsequent
Ductavis Era and Rianitus Period from 11,000-8000 BBY would
be periods of retrenchment and rebuilding following the
Crusades.
====================================================
THE RISE OF THE SITH ORDER:
====================================================
The Subterra Period of 8000-7000 BBY saw new mapping
of the galactic southern quadrant, with colonies such as
Malastare serving as anchors for the tangles of praediums
that linked the region. Scouts also penetrated the Rishi Maze
around this time. However, the lack of a super-hyperroute into
the southern quadrant and the new colonies' general inaccessibility
promoted lawlessness in the Rim and limited Coruscant's authority,
which was believed to have contributed to the Second Great
Schism of the Jedi Order in 7003 BBY, beginning a galaxy-wide
uprising of Dark Jedi known as the Hundred-Year Darkness. In
the war's aftermath, the defeated Dark Jedi were exiled beyond
the Rim into the unexplored space north of the Perlemian. There,
the Exiles settled the worlds of Korriban and Ziost within the
Stygian Caldera, where they dominated the native Sith and
established an empire.
====================================================
WAR WITH THE SITH-ORDER AND MANDALORIANS:
====================================================
During the Manderon Period, the Corellian Trade Spine and the
Rimma Trade Route were established in 5500 BBY after the
Herglics, Givin and Corellians linked together hundreds of
pre-existing praediums, improving access to the southern
quadrant. In 5000 BBY, the Sith Empire was rediscovered by
the Republic, beginning the Great Hyperspace War when the
Sith Lord Naga Sadow attempted to conquer the Republic.
The Sith were defeated and once again driven into exile, but
it was the beginning of a threat that would trouble the Republic
for the remainder of its existence. A thousand years later in
4000 BBY, Sith teachings discovered on Korriban and Onderon
enticed the Jedi Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma to the dark side,
beginning the Great Sith War. The Sith's alliance with the
Mandalorians, a group of warrior-nomads descended from the
Taungs, in that war would prove to be the genesis of another
threat to the Republic with the Mandalorian Wars. The Republic
endured nearly fifty years of almost continuous fighting known
as the Old Sith Wars as a result of Exar Kun until the Sith Empire
was destroyed in 3950 BBY by the redeemed Sith Lord Revan.
By 3700 BBY, the galaxy had been charted and settled as far
as Farana in the north and Malastare in the south, but much
of the northern and southern quadrants beyond the trade
routes remained unsettled. At that time, however, the
Brentaal-born explorer Freia Kallea extended the ancient
Brentaal–Denon Route and linked several pre-exisiting
praediums. By 3693 BBY, she had expanded the trade
routes south of Denon as far as Imynusoph, mapping
the full length of the Hydian Way, the only super-hyperroute
to span the length of the galaxy. The ease with which vessels
could now reach the northern and southern quadrants greatly
expanded the Republic's footprint into the New Territories and
the Western Reaches and opened up countless new sources
of minerals, crystals and gases. From 3681-3642 BBY, however,
the Republic endured decades of war and tension with a
resurgent Sith Empire formed by exiles from the Great
Hyperspace War, led by the Sith Emperor Vitiate. A
second Galactic War broke out between the two in
3642 BBY, and chaos reigned until the Sith Emperor's
redoubt of the Eternal Empire was defeated.
==================================================
THE DRAGGULCH PERIOD:
==================================================
In the wars' aftermath, the galaxy enjoyed several centuries of
relative prosperity, which ended in 2000 BBY with the dawn of the
Draggulch Period and the start of the New Sith Wars when the
Jedi Master Phanius proclaimed himself Darth Ruin. In the
ensuing millennium of fighting between the Republic and
the New Sith, the Republic almost collapsed, culminating in the
Republic Dark Age in the final century, when the Republic's
authority effectively ceased to exist beyond the major trade
routes and the HoloNet communications network ceased to
function. The New Sith Wars finally ended when the Army of
Light led by the Jedi Lord Hoth defeated Skere Kaan's
Brotherhood of Darkness at the Seventh Battle of Ruusan.
A single Sith Lord, Darth Bane, escaped to establish a new
Sith order, while Supreme Chancellor Tarsus Valorum
proclaimed the Ruusan Reformations, which rebuilt the
Republic from the ground up.
=================================================
THE GREAT PEACE AND THE AGE OF CALAMITY:
=================================================
The Republic's final millennium was largely peaceful, but the
provisions of the Ruusan Reformations led to an increase in
lawlessness in the Outer Rim Territories, which eventually
found itself largely controlled by megacorporations or
criminal cartels. This dissatisfaction was stoked into a
Separatist movement by the Sith, which had spent a
millennium in hiding. Orchestrating the Clone Wars,
the Order of the Sith Lords managed to destroy the
Jedi Order and restore their Empire under Darth Sidious.
Sidious dissolved the Republic and replaced it with the
short-lived Galactic Empire, and eventually dissolved the
Republic's trappings completely. A legacy of Imperial rule
was the opening and widespread settlement of the Deep Core,
as well as the charting and exploration of much of the
Unknown Regions. The Empire lasted for two decades
of tyranny, but after the Galactic Civil War and the death
of Darth Sidious at the hands of Anakin and Luke Skywalker,
a New Republic was established from an alliance of free
worlds. Despite this, the remnants of the Empire would
continue to resist the new government for over a decade
before finally signing a peace treaty.
==================================================
THE YUUZHAN-VONG WARS:
==================================================
The Yuuzhan Vong War was a watershed moment in galactic
history, marking the first time that the galaxy had been invaded
by an extra-galactic power, and the savagery of the war would
influence galactic politics for over a century afterwards. Not
long after the conclusion of the Galactic Civil War, an
extra-galactic species known as the Yuuzhan Vong
launched an invasion of the galaxy. The Yuuzhan Vong
War devastated much of the galaxy, including Coruscant,
and cost the lives of some 365 trillion beings, though they
were eventually defeated by a new Galactic Alliance of the
Imperial Remnant, the remnants of the New Republic, and a
host of the galaxy's lesser powers. Another outcome of the
war was a normalisation of relations between the galaxy
proper and the Chiss Ascendancy, the dominant power of
the Unknown Regions. Within a few decades, stable
hyperroutes and colonies had been established into
the region and had removed much of its mystery.
=====================================================
THE LEGACY ERA:
=====================================================
Some of the Yuuzhan Vong were incorporated in the galactic
community, but the post-Yuuzhan Vong War galaxy proved
incredibly difficult to govern, resulting in a Second Galactic
Civil War between the Galactic Alliance and a Confederation
led by Corellia. Within a century, the Galactic Empire had been
restored under the Fel dynasty, although this time without Sith
backing. Ultimately, however, the Fel Empire was manipulated
by the One Sith, led by Darth Krayt, to declare war upon the
Galactic Alliance after the Sith exploited lingering hatred of
the Yuuzhan Vong to to make it appear that they were planning
to re-conquer the galaxy. The One Sith usurped the Imperial
throne shortly afterwards, forming a new Sith empire, but the
resulting war between the Sith and the Galactic Alliance
Remnant and the Fel-loyalist Empire-in-exile resulted in the
Sith's defeat. Thereafter, the Galactic Alliance became the
dominant government in the galaxy once again.

ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIANS: An Epic Ethnographic Biopic (By SimoTheFinlandized - 2021 CE)

ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIANS:
An Epic Ethnographic Biopic
(By SimoTheFinlandized - 2021 CE)
================================
Indigenous Australians, also known
as Aboriginal Australians, are the native
people of Australia. Indigenous Australians
used weapons like boomerangs, sticks
and spears to kill animals for food and
many more. It is unknown where they
came from and how they appeared in
Australia but it is estimated they have
been habitants to their homeland for
around 60,000 years ago or more.
Aboriginal people also have their own type
of art. Many Indigenous Australians
suffered when Europeans from Britain and
Ireland arrived in Australia. Disease and
the loss of their hunting lands are two of
the reasons.
================================
HISTORY:
================================
The first people of Australia were a
semi-nomadic tribal hunter-gatherer
people who came to the continent of
Australia from southeast Asia.
Scientists do not know exactly when
they arrived, but it is believed to be at
least 50,000 years ago. They travelled
throughout the bush, hunting with
spears and boomerangs (throwing
sticks) for animals and searching
for food such as plants, grubs, and
insects. They had few possessions
and made everything that they needed
and wanted. This way of life does not
change nor harm the fragile
environment of Australia.
The overall well-being of the land and
its plants and animals are vital and sacred
to the Aboriginal people.
Aborigines also have a very
unique way of telling their history. They
use a vast oral-tradition of various
songs, stories, and dances
that are passed down orally
and through elaborate art,
music, and dance of varying kinds
from generation to generation. When the
British came to Australia in 1788, they
called these native people “Aboriginals”,
meaning 'people who had lived there since
the earliest times'. Today their
numbers are increasing (according
to data from censuses). There
are now about 650,000 Aborigines living in
Australia. Most live in cities, but a few
thousand still follow a traditional way of
life.
================================
THE DREAMTIME:
================================
Aboriginal Australians fervently
believe that they have a vast
consortium of animal, plant, and human
ancestors who created the world and
everything in it. This process of
the ongoing creation is called the
Dreamtime. There are many
sophisticated Aboriginal dances, songs,
and stories about the Dreamtime, which is
said to be "outside of time", "everywhen",
or "all-at-once time", with countless
generations of Aboriginal people having
passed it all down to their children
over the millennia. They also
believe that when someone dies they
get a new life as an animal, plant, or
another person.
================================
ART:
================================
The art of the Indigenous Australians is
mostly about dreamtime and is made as
part of the ceremonies celebrating
Dreamtime. Paintings of the people,
spirits, and animals of Dreamtime cover
sacred cliffs and rocks in tribal territories.
Some of the pictures are made in red and
yellow ochre and white clay - others have
been carved into the rocks. Many are
thousands of years old.
================================
URBAN LIFE:
================================
Most aboriginal Australian live in cities
& towns. Some Aboriginal-Australians
have greatly benefited from
government-sponsored
education-&-training and other types of
aid programmes and now have
highly-affluent careers as
teachers, doctors and lawyers.
Many other Aboriginal Australians,
though, are rather very
socioeconomically poor in
both status and money,
not to mention quite isolated
from the mainstream white Australian
society. They have lost touch with
traditional Aboriginal-Australian
tribal ways, and because they
do not fit neatly into white
Australian society, they cannot
share in its benefits.
================================
BOOMERANGS:
================================
As well as the curved returning
boomerang, Aboriginal Australians use a
straight, non-returning boomerang as a
weapon for fighting and for hunting
animals such as kangaroos.
================================
LAND CLAIMS:
================================
When British people came to live
in Australia, they decided that the land
was empty: that nobody "owned" the
land, in the way Europeans used that
word. This was called "terra nullius",
Latin words for "empty land". Under
British law, all land belongs to the king,
who is then able to sell it to other people.
In 1976, the Australian government
agreed that Aboriginal people have
rights to the land where their tribes were
originally located and gained the right to
use the land. On 3 June, 1992, the High
Court of Australia said that the idea of
"terra nullius" was wrong, and the
government brought in new laws to set up
Native Title. If Aborigines can prove they
have always used particular land, it has
not been sold, or changed by government
acts, then the land could be claimed as
Aboriginal-Australian land.

I made another utterly immense infographic, this time about Italy, for you all to enjoy - MANGIA MANGIA!

I made another utterly immense infographic, this time about Italy, for you all to enjoy - MANGIA MANGIA! | ===========================================
ON ITALY: Another Utterly Immense Infographic
By Simo-The-Finlandized (c. 2021 CE)
===========================================
Italy is a country in south Europe
and a member of the European Union. Its official name
is Repubblica Italiana. The Italian flag is green, white
and red. Italy is a democratic republic and is a founding
member of the European Union. Its President is Sergio
Mattarella and its Prime Minister is Giuseppe Conte.
Italy is also a member of the G8, as it has the eighth
largest Gross Domestic Product in the world. Before
1861, it was made up of smaller kingdoms and city-
states. Italy has become famous for its wine, as well as
its food. Some foods are different between regions.
Famous dishes include various types of pasta, pizza,
and grapes. Olives are much used. The country's
capital, Rome, is one of the most famous cities in the
world, as it was the capital of the Roman Empire. Other
famous cities in Italy include, Venice, Naples, Genoa,
Florence, Palermo, and Milan.
==========================================
GEOGRAPHY:
==========================================
Italy is a peninsula, meaning it is encompassed by the
sea on all of its sides apart from one side of the country
(its north side). Northern Italy is separated from France,
Switzerland, and Austria by the Alps, a chain of
mountains. Mont Blanc (Monte Bianco in Italian or
white mountain in English), the highest mountain in
western Europe, belongs to this chain. The second
important chain of mountains in Italy is the Apennines
(Appennini in Italian), which are in central and southern
Italy. The capital of Italy is Rome where the Roman
Empire started. Other cities in Italy are Milan, Turin,
Florence, Genoa, Naples, Palermo, and Venice. The
country has a number of islands, the biggest of which
are Sicily and Sardinia, which can be reached by ship
or aircraft. It shares maritime borders with Libya to the
south. The Po River is the longest river in Italy. It flows
through 5 cities: Torino, Piacenza, Cremona Ferrara
and Rovigo. The Tiber River runs through the city of
Rome. Northern Italy has some of the biggest lakes in
the country, such as Lake Garda, Lake Como, Lake
Maggiore and Lake Iseo. Because it is surrounded by
the sea, Italy has many kilometers of coast, which
brings tourists from all over the world. Tourists also
come to see Italy's historical places. Two very small
separate countries are located within Italy. They are
San Marino, which is surrounded by part of Northern
Italy, and the Vatican City, which is inside Rome.
===========================================
PEOPLE AND CULTURE:
===========================================
People from Italy are called Italians. Even if an Italian
were to leave Italy, it is possible that their descendants
could also claim Italian citizenship due to Italian
nationality law relying mostly on ius sanguinis or "right
of blood" in Latin. Nearly all the Italians are Christians,
and most of these are Roman Catholics, which is
based in the Vatican City and home to its leader, the
Pope. Leonardo da Vinci is a famous artist, he is the
creator of the Mona Lisa which is now in the louvre
Paris. The population of Italy is a little over 60 million.
About 2.7 million of them live in Rome, and 1.3 million
in Milan. As of 31 December 2015, over 5 million
foreigners were living in Italy, which is 8.3% of the total
population. The official language of Italy is Italian and
in some small areas German, Slovenian or French.
People also speak dialects of Italian such as Sicilian
and Sardinian. There are many different dialects
spoken in Italy. They vary between regions and, in
some cases, also between provinces. The people of
Italy are mostly descendant from the ancient Romans.
Italy is home to more World Heritage Sites than any
other nation in the world. These sites are culturally
important and valued according to UNESCO. About
60% of the works of art of the world are in Italy. Italy is
also a big wine producer. In 2005 it made over 5 million
tonnes.
==========================================
ECONOMY:
==========================================
Italy has a modern social welfare system. The labor
market enjoys relative strength, with many foreigners,
especially from Romania, working in Italy where the
wages are much higher. But it could have been much
more workers on the labor market because men and
women already retired in the age of 57 and the
unemployment rate is relatively high at 8.2 percent.
Italy's modern society has been built up through loans
and now the country has a catastrophic high debt of
€1.9trn or 120 percent of the country's total GDP. And
the government cannot pay back the loans during the
time period the EU wish.
==========================================
RELIGION:
==========================================
Most people in Italy are Roman Catholics, but the
Catholic Church is no longer officially the state religion.
87.8% of the people said they were Roman Catholic.
Only about a third said they were active members
(36.8%). There are also other Christian groups in Italy,
more than 700,000 Eastern Orthodox Christians.
180,000 of them belong to the Greek Orthodox Church.
550,000 are Pentecostals and Evangelicals (0.8%).
235,685 Jehovah's Witnesses (0.4%), 30,000
Waldensians, 25,000 Seventh-day Adventists, 22,000
Mormons, 20,000 Baptists, 7,000 Lutherans, 4,000
Methodists. The country's oldest religious minority is
the Jewish community. It has roughly 45,000 people. It

POLITICS:
==========================================
The Head of State is Sergio Mattarella, whose task
began in February 2015. Mattarella is currently the
President of the Italian Republic. The first president
was Enrico De Nicola. The Head of Government is
Paolo Gentiloni, who became Prime Minister on
December 12, 2016, succeeding Matteo Renzi. Renzi
was previously the Mayor of Florence and is Italy's
youngest-ever Prime Minister, at age 39 when taking
office. Italy was one of the first members of the
European Union and in 2002 along with 11 other
European countries, it changed to using the euro as its
official currency. Before this, the Italian lira had been
used since 1861. Anyone who wants to be President of
Italy must have Italian citizenship, be at least 50 years
old, and must be able to hold political and civil rights.
==========================================
HISTORY:
==========================================
Before 1861, Italy was not a state. The area was made
of a group of separate states, ruled by other countries
(such as Austria, France, and Spain). In the 1850s the
Earl of Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour was the Head
of Government of the "State of Sardinia". He talked to
the Austrians in Lombardy and Veneto and said they
should create a Northern Italian state. This happened,
but other Central and Southern Italian states also
joined Piedmont to create a bigger state.In 1860,
Giuseppe Garibaldi took control of Sicily, creating the
Kingdom of Italy in 1861. Victor Emmanuel II was made
the king. But in 1861, Latium and Veneto were still not
part of Italy, because they were ruled by the Pope and
Austrian Empire.Veneto was made part of Italy in 1866
after a war with Austria, and Italian soldiers won Latium
in 1870. That was when they took away the Pope's
power. The Pope, who was angry, said that he was a
prisoner to keep Catholic people from being active in
politics. That was the year of Italian unification.
Italy participated in World War I as an ally of Great
Britain, France, and Russia against the Central Powers.
Almost all of Italy's fighting was on the Eastern
border, near Austria. After the "Caporetto defeat", Italy
thought they would lose the war. But, in 1918, the
Central Powers surrendered, and Italy gained the
Trentino-South Tyrol, which once was owned by
Austria. In 1922, a new Italian government started. It
was ruled by Benito Mussolini, the leader of Fascism in
Italy. He became Head of Government and dictator,
calling himself "duce" - which means "leader" in Italian.
He became friends with German dictator Adolf Hitler.
Germany, Japan, and Italy became the Axis Powers
and entered World War II together in 1940 against
France, Great Britain, and later the Soviet Union.
During the war, Italy controlled most of the
Mediterranean Sea.On July 25, 1943, Mussolini was
removed by the Great Council of Fascism, and, on
September 8, 1943, Badoglio said that the war as an
ally of Germany was ended. Italy started fighting as an
ally of France and the UK, but Italian soldiers did not
know whom to shoot. In Northern Italy, a movement
called Resistenza started to fight against the German
invaders. Mussolini tried to make a small Northern
Italian fascist state, the Republic of Salò, but it failed.
On April 25, 1945, Italy became free. The state became
a republic on June 2, 1946, and, for the first time,
women were able to vote. Italian people ended the
Savoia dynasty and adopted a republic government. In
February 1947, Italy signed a peace treaty with the
Allies losing all the colonies and some territorial areas:
(Istria and parts of Dalmatia). Since then
Italy has joined NATO and the European
Community (as a founding member), becoming one of
the seven biggest industrial economies in the world.
==========================================
TRANSPORTATION:
==========================================
The railway network in Italy totals 16,627 kilometres
(10,332 mi), the 17th longest in the world. High speed
trains include ETR-class trains which travel at 300 km/h
(190 mph).
