It wouldn't become officially independent , but it would be de-facto independent as the mafia controls it while the Italian government can do nothing about it.Title.
Please give honest answers(No jokes),
Please , i wish to right a timeline on it.
It be a way station for Drugs from Asia, the golden cresent which stretches from Afghanistan to Turkey, to Europe and the US. It would not last if it did this. Internationally the backlash would be bad enough for a multinational task force to invade and keep peacekeepers there for a long time.That sounds as if they'd have huge plantations of drugs, and I'm not so sure about that. What'd grow in Sicily anyway? Marihuana? Opium? Cocaine??
The mafia. It corrupts the Italian government and turns Sicily into it's playground, along with much of southern Italy. Make sure the fascist never cone to power as they really made a point to hurt them, only not finishing the job due to world war 2.Well basically, i wish for Sicily to become a failed state.
Please give me some ideas with that.
I would like to have some notes my good man.sicily actually has alot of interesting history since it was controlled by alot of different powers before it finally changed hands to Italy--it was part of Spain for a long time, iirc. i wrote down alot of notes about this somewhere, but i don't have them right on hand.
if you want to look into how Sicilian became so deeply connected to Cosa Nostra, i recommend John Lawrence Reynolds' Secret Societies--the mafia is covered in chapter 8, which is where i learned everything about this that i did. i have my copy right here with me if you'd like me to skim over it and give some quick notes.
Well, at least your motives are pure.Well basically, i wish for Sicily to become a failed state.
Please give me some ideas with that.
WOW!It be a way station for Drugs from Asia, the golden cresent which stretches from Afghanistan to Turkey, to Europe and the US. It would not last if it did this. Internationally the backlash would be bad enough for a multinational task force to invade and keep peacekeepers there for a long time.
The mafia in America might have frowned upon drug dealing at one point but the Sicilian Mafia engaged in large scale heroin trafficking from the 50s onwards.Didn't the Mafia frown on drugs? You're going to need a change in their business practices or another group to seize Sicily.
