Is it even plausible for any Italian Republic, Kingdom, etc to hold ontop a colony in the Americas? Like say Venice actually sent out Christopher Colombus as an explorer, since Christopher was Venitian in the first place?
I don't think Venice had enough manpower to hold on to a large portion of America.
Oh I like the united idea...and actually, Columbus was a Venitian. He was born on some island thats in present day Croatia, but was Venitian at the time.
My bad, apparently, he is Genoan...
Anyways, should I make a TL for this?
