Between the Treaty of Limerick (1691) and the outbreak of the French Revolution (1789) many thousands of Irishmen (and Irish women) emigrated to the continent of Europe. They entered the service of the great European monarchies and several of them rose to high rank in both the armed forces and the civil government of their adopted countries. The exiled Irish nobility and gentry became assimilated into the rarefied, cosmopolitan world of the European aristocracy. The descendants of the Wild Geese continued to flourish in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. These statesmen of Irish descent held very high office in nineteenth century Europe. Leopoldo O'Donnell, Duke of Tetuan (1809-67) was prime minister of Spain in 1856 and again from 1858 to 1863.

  • The Italian Risorgimento the Defeat of the 1848 Revolutions Did Not End
    The Italian Risorgimento The defeat of the 1848 revolutions did not end the movements for unification of Italy and Germany, even though different auspices successfully unified both countries. In Germany, conservatives did the work of unification and, in the process, “captured” the liberal movement in that German liberals in effect threw over their ideas in the rush to support unification. This situation differed from the one in Italy, where unification occurred under liberal auspices, but with an important—if weakened—radical contribution. The Decline of Mazzini The salient fact among Italian patriots during the 1850s was the decline of Mazzini’s influence. Mazzinianism had been a driving force during the 1848 revolutions, spurring its adherents to drive the Austrians out of northern Italy and setting up a republic in Rome. However, the defeat of the Italian movement and the resulting harsh reaction during the 1850s demonstrated to many patriots that Italy needed help. This meant help from an established Italian state, which could only be Piedmont (Note: the official name of this state was the Kingdom of Sardinia; Sardinia is an island, and the region of Piedmont, in northwestern Italy, was the center of the Kingdom). The crucial development fostering this view was that Piedmont became the center of the Italian unification movement. Piedmont was the strongest native Italian state, with a good army and a competent Foreign Service and bureaucracy. Piedmont had shown itself ready to act in favor of Italian independence. This fact, along with the failure of Mazzini’s ideas, convinced many patriots that the only way to gain independence and liberty for Italy was to support Piedmont.

  • Italy's Colonial Future According to Giovanni Pascoli
    Italy’s Colonial Future According to Giovanni Pascoli Adriana Baranello Pascoli Politico: the Historical and Ideological Context At the hundredth anniversary of Italy’s invasion of Libya, as the effects of European imperialism continue to reverberate in Africa, it seems an especially appropriate time to reconsider the texts that helped shape the discourse in that era and to reflect on the continuing effects that they exert. In this context, I present the translated text of Giovanni Pascoli’s “La grande proletaria si è mossa.”1 Pascoli was a poet, prose writer, pedagogue, political activist and public speaker who assumed a prominent role in the public debates that surrounded both the 1911 Italian invasion of Libya and the nation’s projected colonial future in the Mediterranean. Pascoli’s interventionist politics were not unique in Italian intellectual circles, which were intimately involved in the run-up to the 1911 war (Cunsolo 1965). Pascoli’s rhetoric, like that of Enrico Corradini and Gabriele D’Annunzio, helped to shape the public mind and to create feelings of patriotism, of fraternal pride, and of a shared destiny in a still emotionally divided nation.2 The work, which originated as a public oration, was delivered at the Teatro di Barga near Bologna on November 26, 1911 at a benefit for the dead and the wounded of the Libyan war (Pascoli 1946). The text is both densely poetic and stridently ideological. Although rarely analyzed in any detail, this text has been widely cited in discussions of Pascoli’s political ideology and of the political discourse in Italy in the years preceding World War I.3 Pascoli’s rhetoric was timely; the process of building loyalty to the Savoy kings and to the Italian state had been ongoing throughout his lifetime.
