If that is true, maybe Paoli thought that, in an European Continent almost entirely ruled by the monarchic principle, to have a king, even a constitutionnal king, would be a garantee for an international recognition of the independant cosrsican State.

Le royaume anglo-corse, @@dugenounonplie8162 , n'était nullement une annexion au Royaume-Uni, mais, bien au contraire, une sorte de préfiguration des futurs dominions, étant doté de sa propre constitution parlementaire, prévoyant notamment que la Catholicisme y était "religion d'Etat", ce qui eût été inconcevable en cas d'annexion pure et simple, tout en garantissant la liberté de culte à chacun, quelle que soit sa confession religieuse, et lié à la Couronne par le seul principe de "l'union personnelle", le roi Georges III étant également proclamé "roi de Corse" et représenté sur place par un vice-roi, sir Gilbert Elliott. Aujourd'hui, on ne parlerait même pas d'autonomie interne pour décrire cette construction institutionnelle, mais plutôt d'"État associé", comme Porto-Rico par rapport aux USA, par exemple. Dans la pratique, le vieux Paoli ne tarda pas à s'opposer à la politique menée par Sir Gilbert Elliot, écossais, le vice-roi nommé par Londres, laquelle méconnaissait de plus en plus les droits et libertés de la nation corse tels que garantis par la Constitution du royaume, et s'appuyait bien plus sur les ci-devants royalistes locaux revenus d'émigration, les vieux ennemis du "père de la patrie", que sur le parti des patriotes corses, Elliott n'hésitant pas à dénoncer les "tendances démocratiques" du vieux chef corse.

Holy Roman Empire republic Genua in 18th century? What a nonsens! In 15th century, perhaps until 1520s Northern Italy was only NOMINAL part of HRE, the german emperors or imperial institutions had in 18th century no more control over Northern Italy. The emperors of Habsburg family had territories there, but as peronal territory, not as HRE emperor.
I am corsican, @Britta Kriep, and i can confirm that imperial troops, commanded, first, in 1731, by colonel Wachtendonck, then, in 1732, with important renforcments, by the Duke of Wurttemberg himself, were asked to Vienna by Repubic of Genua and sent in Corsica to restaure Genuan order. In 1738, Genua asked the same thing to France and obtained it with the sending of french troops, first under the command of "comte de Boissieu", dead in december 1738, after his defeat in Borgu, by Corsicans (the first battle of Borgu), then, in 1739, by "marquis de Maillebois". It is not a german like you who will teach me the history of my little motherland.
@@missiavu : Je suis allemande, vrai. Je ne suis pas professeur de histoire, alors je ne connais pas la histoire de tout la monde! In late medieval time, Northern Italy became nearly independent, because the power of emperor and empire declined after the end of Hohenstaufen dynasty. In 11 to 13th century there had been many battles between italian forces ( of pope and city states) and german forces. Often the Italiens won, so starting in 14 th century the HRE and emperor had only few remaining influence in Northern Italy, when in 15th century Friedrich lll did his coronation trip to Rome, which was no more common, the italian cities and princes feared, a mighty emperor comes with a strong army to restore german rule, but they noticed, that a rather poor ruler with small retinue is coming. For the reason, the emperor was no danger, for a last time a HRE emperor was invited with pomp and honors by italian cities like 400 years before. But in the 1520s, when with Karl V for a last time an emperor did this Rome trip ,Reichsitalien' was only on paper still a part of HRE, only Savoy ( Departements Haute Savoi and Bas Savoi) remained in HRE up to early 17th century. So in 18 th century the emperors of HRE , being Austrian/ Habsburg family owned italian teritories, but this italian territories had not been part of HRE in those days, and the emperors ruled them not as HRE emperor. So i was surprised, when in the video l read that Republic of Genua was part of HRE , which is in 18th century no more true. Have i misinterpreted the writing? To me it seems that the Genua City Head of State asked the HRE emperor for help, perhaps remembering the fact, that Genua was once part of HRE, but for my knowledge of HRE, i have some doubts. I am from Württemberg and have never heared württembergian troops being in Korsika and many persons confuse HRE army (Reichsheer/Reichstruppen) with the Kaiserliche Armee, the troops from his own territories. So i hope, you understand my surprise and confusion. Your knowledge about the history of Korsika is better than mine, but Genua was in 1730s no more part of HRE. Parce que non français est mauvaise, j' ai ecritė en langue anglais.
The Genua's demands for imperial military intervention in Corsica, like, in 1738, the sames demands for french military intervention, were diplomatic demands, @@brittakriep2938 , no need, for that, to be part of the Holy Roman-Germanic Empire or of Kingdom of France. European great monarchies could not tolerate the rebellion of subjects againts their "legitimous sovraign", and, for them, Genua was the "legitimous sovraign" of Corsica. The only european powers to look corsican revolution with a certain interested sympathy, were the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, but they sent piemontese troops, even austrian soldiers, Austria being at war against France and Genua, at that time, and british vessels in Corsica, only during the Austria succession war, in the years 1745-1748, sopped, in 1748-1749, by a second french military intervention, under the command of Marquis de Cursay, demanded by Genua. The french troops left, then, Corsica, in the end of 1752. Then, in 1753, Genua organized the murder of Ghjuvan-Petru Gaffory, leader of corsican patriots, and, after a time of disorder, the corsican insurgents asked for the return of Pasquale Paoli, in exile in Naples, with his father, Giacintu Paoli, one of the leaders of corsican revolutions in the 1730's decade, since 1739, when Pasquale was only aged of 14 years. Paoli arrived in Corsica in April 1755, was elected "capo generale della nazione" the 14th of july, and the Constitution written by him was adopted by the elected national representation de 18th of november, and, with him, began really the adventure and construction of the Corsican nation, for 14 years. Paoli was a freemason, in Naples he had been the pupil of the great italian enlightened philosopher and economist Antonio Genovesi, and he readed the "Esprit des lois" by Montesquieu. Paoli encountered the sympthy of enlightened philosophers like Voltaire and Rouseeau and even of "enlightened despotes" like Frederic II of Prussia and Tsarina Catarina II of Russia with wich he exchanged letters. The great Frederic even sent a gift to him, a sword with the words "Pugna pro Patria" written on its blade.

The french troops left, then, Corsica, in the end of 1752. Then, in 1753, Genua organized the murder of Ghjuvan-Petru Gaffory, leader of corsican patriots, and, after a time of disorder, the corsican insurgents asked for the return of Pasquale Paoli, in exile in Naples, with his father, Giacintu Paoli, one of the leaders of corsican revolutions in the 1730's decade, since 1739, when Pasquale was only aged of 14 years. Paoli arrived in Corsica in April 1755, was elected "capo generale della nazione" the 14th of july, and the Constitution written by him was adopted by the elected national representation de 18th of november, and, with him, began really the adventure and construction of the Corsican nation, for 14 years. Paoli was a freemason, in Naples he had been the pupil of the great italian enlightened philosopher and economist Antonio Genovesi, and he readed the "Esprit des lois" by Montesquieu. Paoli encountered the sympthy of enlightened philosophers like Voltaire and Rouseeau and even of "enlightened despotes" like Frederic II of Prussia and Tsarina Catarina II of Russia with wich he exchanged letters. The great Frederic even sent a gift to him, a sword with the words "Pugna pro Patria" written on its blade.

@@missiavu : I understand now, i misinterpreted the writen words as : Genua was part of HRE. This is, why i wrote of nonsens, not the history of Corsican attempt, to be an indepent republic.
The fact, that you like your ,Heimat' is a thing, i, Brittas boyfriend do for for my swabian Heimat , also Germany as whole country. This behavior of you, me or other persons is not wrong, but the nationalistic times of our ancestors should not been repeated. In modern times, we should watch each others to see good ideas.
