Great Quiz! I like the dotted lines you added. I'm assuming Napoleon conquered this right?

Thanks! Yeah, Napoleon did end up conquering Genoa in 1797, turning into the puppet Ligurian Republic before annexing it to France proper.

"annexing to France proper" 🤣

spoken like a real Putin

I don't really get it, but what I meant with the "annexation to France proper" was the establishment of direct French control over the area.

I think he meant that annexation into a country it doesn't belong to sounds a lot like our topless horseriding friend from Russia

Genoese Tabarqa is such an obscure little territory from history; I suppose that if they'd held onto it for another century, Italy might have used it as a basis to claim all of Tunisia, instead of it going to France. Fascinating stuff. Nominated, by the way!

Thanks! They did hold onto it for a few centuries, I believe it was one of the very last overseas holdings they ended up losing.

I wonder why the Genoese had so much business in Georgia... Maybe because of the lumber? That they needed for shipbuilding?

Trading post ≠ control the city/territoy. The genoese never control most of that territories
