Italy has a long history. The earliest recordings show a government around the 8th century BCE. This was the roots of what would become the Great Roman Empire. After much turmoil, the empire finally dissolved in 285CE.
Over the next millennium and a half Italy existed as a broken assembly of city-states. These states were conquered and reformed by outsiders and neighbors. In 1816 Italy began a process of reunification through politics and ultimately war with the Austrian Empire. The kingdom of Italy officially came into existence in 1861.
After the chaos of WWII the Italian people adopted a democratic form of government. The last king of Italy, Umberto II, abdicated 12 June 1946 starting the present Republic of Italy. This action came after a country wide referendum.
