Summary: Slightly inaccurate description of Italian nation Project: Freeciv Submitted by: None Submitted on: Sat Jul 21 10:02:53 2012 Category: general Severity: 1 - Wish Priority: 5 - Normal Status: None Assigned to: None Originator Email: ceng...@gmail.com Open/Closed: Open Release: 2.2.1 Discussion Lock: Any Operating System: GNU/Linux Planned Release: _______________________________________________________ Details: The description of Italy in the nation selection screen currently reads: "The Italian nation was unified in 1870 AD after decades of campaigning by indigenous nationalists. It was a monarchy under the House of Savoy until 1922, then a fascist state until 1945 after which democracy was restored by the World War II victors." In 1943, Mussolini was dismissed, the Fascist Party was dissolved, and war was declared on Germany. The Nazis then busted Mussolini out of jail and forced him to establish the Italian Social Republic in the north, but this puppet state had no continuity with the Kingdom of Italy and was never considered the legitimate government of the country. A more accurate description would be along the lines of: "The Italian nation was unified as a constitutional monarchy under the House of Savoy in 1870 AD after decades of campaigning by indigenous nationalists, and was a fascist state from 1922 to 1943. In 1946, voters adopted a republican constitution and exiled the Savoy kings." _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://gna.org/bugs/?19964> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
