The Modern Historian: On this day in history: Cisalpine Republic created, 1797
Napoleon created a
hazard for the inattentive student of history especially those listening to
verbal lessons
about the History of Italy when he created the Cisalpine Republic which probably
elated the French generals and politicians as well as their families and friends who wanted in on the prizes from Bonaparte's various conquests.
The political entity would last until 1815 in some form or another.
