It's just an Italian thing: preserving the millennium old tradition of political assassinations.

[gondolo]

Medieval Italy is literally the average fantasy location minus magic

[slsaballlerinna]

Venice is the perfect example of:
>IT'S OVER
>WE'RE BACK

I just appreciate the thumbnail.
_Tifa's contribution to Italian politics must not be forgotten!_

Italian medieval history is one of the most fascinating and convoluted things ever. The pornocracy(Saeculum obscurum), the rivalry between the Guelphs and Ghibellines, the Sicilian Vespers, and the Avignon papacy et Cetera.

[Master-Mirror]

Mussolini really shouldn't have been surprised when his country switched sides on him.

[AlejandroGarcia-toig]

Never ask a man his salary
Never ask a women her age
Never ask Venice wich trade good made them rich

[Blackcat]

Venice managing to have war declared on it by France, the Papacy, the Spanish Empire and the Holy Roman Empire during the League of Cambrai, and ending the war with them on the victorious side with France vs everyone else in the former alliance (plus England).

Italian City I attacks it's evil counterpart City II, City II invites French for help, French sack half of Italy, Spanish and Germans team up with City I to beat up French, French retreat, Germans sack half of Italy before leaving, City III decides it's time to expand territories, Spanish invade City III and torch it to the ground, City II gets sacked by it's own mercenaries, City I goes bankrupt, they all team up to fight Ottomans just one time, peace is made, nobody achieves anything. Repeat.

If you wanted to play a battle royale, becoming a mercenary in medieval Italy would be a good start

Fun fact: The Oaken Bucket war of Italy, a bucket was technically not the thing that actually started the war, but rather the rising tensions between the two cities during the power struggle of the pope and the emporer. However, since the city that stole the bucket rubbed it in their enemies face that their plan worked and they took their bucket as proof, it was the last straw that broke the tension and started the war. So, technically the bucket did cause the war, not because it was stolen, but because they were using it as bragging rights.

Edit: By the way this is a very much debated thing.

[challengehunter]

I am convinced that Italians are both Romans on steroids and also, at the same time, a parody of them

[jessietricia]

And who can forget:
>be a monarchy
>people get sick of the tyrannical rulers
>rebels
>abolishes the monarchy
>declares that the country shall never be a monarchy again
>becomes a monarchy again

[mercoro]

We brazilians also commited various crimes against italians, one of them is making pizza with chocolate and skittles. Don't know how they didn't declared a war against us at this point.

[LINUXLINUXLINUXLINUXLINUXLINUX]

Italians love fighting each other until an outsider force, like Ottomans tries to take them then they all magically unite against the outsiders.

[mayiknowurmeme]

This would have been the perfect oppertunity to call it Venice and Vebad.

[para]

Fun fact: the first plane used in a war was actually used by italians in the italo-Turkish war, and not in ww1 as many people believe

[eugeniog]

I fell offended by how much accurate this is 😂; I would also added "a random city state start to sell things and became a commercial empire richer than half of Europe"

"Both teams auto-balance again" had me laughing.
