It is bordered by [[Tuscany]], [[Venice]], and [[Naples]]. The Republic was formed after the downfall of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_States Papal States] and the murder of Pope [[Bonifacio X]] in 1908. The '''Latium Republic''' is a nation on the central-eastern coast of the Italian peninsula. The country is mainly flat, with small mountainous areas in the most eastern and southern districts. It's capital is Rome, which is also the largest city on the peninsula. == History == ==== Premodern history ==== ~~=== Establishment of the Latium Republic ===~~ The region of what is now the Latium Republic was once part of the Papal domains. In 1901, the Central Italian region was hit with one of the worst famines the region has ever seen, called the Latial Famine. This led to many bread revolts in the cities over the course of 1903-1908. The papacy's army was overwhelmed by these revolts. This was exacerbated by Venice supporting some of the revolts in Rome. The coup de grâce was delivered when [[Venice#Invasion of the Papal Adriatic (1908), and the Alps against Austria (1911-1912)\|Venetian Invasion of the Papal Adriatic in 1908]], destroying the papacy's army in the process. With a weakened military, Rome succumbed to the revolts. In the same year, the Latium Republic was declared. ==== ~~Pope's~~Inception ~~Flight~~of tothe ~~Rome~~Republic (1901-1909) ==== The Latial Famines of 1901 to 1903 had triggered popular revolts in the Papal States. Pope [[Innocent XVII]] became the main target of the public's wrath due to his and his predecessors' administration of the States. Innocent XVII proceeded to die in 1904. One of his favorite cardinals, Remondo di Muzio, was swiftly elected by the College of Cardinals as [[Boniface X]] soon after. When the rebels took Rome, the pope fled the city. Upon hearing of the news, Spain jumped at the chance to offer to host a papal government-in-exile in Spain. This gained Spain huge prestige within the Catholic world.

A few weeks later, [[Boniface X]] was assassinated by radical republican [[Jacopo Marzullo]] in the Ponte district of Rome. Marzullo was allegedly in collaboration with an unnamed bishop. Soon after the incident, the members of the Roman Curia were expelled while the College of Cardinals was thrown into chaos. == Government and Politics == == Demographics == == Culture == == List of leaders == == See also == * [[Catholic Church\|Roman Catholicism]] {{Nations of the World}}
