@@MPHJackson7 If you ask certain people about San Marino? They either say "They didn't know it existed" or "The San Marino football team" the worst international team in the world.
Everyone kind of forgot about them,they have nothing of interest and they are essentially a fortified castle city on a steep mountain that overlooks... nothing of value. Also they don't get involved in about anything.
Fun Fact: The Pope is a king. Specifically, he holds the title of the King of Vatican, and for the purposes of conducting diplomacy with secular and non-Christian majority nations he's officially referred to as such, and not as "the Pope".
Not as King, but "Sovereign of the Vatican City State". However, if you mean to use king as synonymous with monarch, than technically the Pope is one. But his formal title is not King of Vatican, but Sovereign of the Vatican City State.
Continuation on Fun Fact- The Pope isn’t just any king. He’s an absolute king. This makes Vatican City among the small hand full of nations that still have an absolute monarchy as their government on the modern era, which includes Saudi Arabia.
@@sonoftheway3528 Well it's not on the same level as Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, or San Marino though. As in Singapore is a nation that holds significant influence and power in regional politics, unlike the other nations that just exist for the sake of existing. And also, in classifying whether a nation is a microstate or not, the population of said nation is also taken into account, and since Singapore apparently has more people than Norway (yes, Norway), Singapore then is not considered to be a microstate.
Pope: ,,I'm excommunicating you" Holy Roman Emperor: ,,You think you can destroy me this way?" Polish Kingdom: supports the Pope and coronates new ruler Holy Roman Emperor: ,,Oh, c'mon!"
For a small historical correction King Henry wasn’t requesting the pope a divorce. He was trying to argue with him the marriage was never legal to begin with. There was apparently some sort of old Catholic law that stated that marriage between a man with his brothers widow was illegal. Henry brought that up to the pope but it didn’t convince him to void the marriage he basically said, “It does not matter that we over looked this law, you said your vows and legally agreed to marry her under god, so the marriage stays.”
@@brandonlyon730 it's also good to mention, that divorce was and still is illegal in Roman Catholicism. What king Henri tried to convince Pope for was void, as you said. It is said, that Pope didn't agreed because of Siege of Rome by an Emperor, who was a relative to Catherine of Aragon and if not this siege, Pope would agreed.
Darkfawfulx Which makes sense, because in true fascist ideology, God is not the ultimate authority: the master race/their extreme-right political party is.
One of the main reasons for the existence of the Vatican City State is to maintain the autonomy and independence of the Catholic Church, without it being a vehicle of italian state politics. It's something that has been in the forefront of european politics during the last one thousand years, kings and emperors trying to exert power over the church to gain prestige and power.
And they can never take over the Church because Jesus established it, and promised that the gates of hell shall not prevail. Eastern Orthodox can't say the same... and certainly not protestants.
James Bisonette is the one person that the pope will never dare to disagree with, otherwise he would purchase the vatican and turn it into a history matters museum
San Marino was originally just a guy who went up into the mountains, seceded from the crumbling Roman Empire and formed his own separatist micro-nation, similar to fringe groups nowadays. He just got lucky that his micro-nation was formally a Catholic republic before that was cool, so the Pope formally recognized them as a legitimate independent nation after the Pope came to prominence. The continual support of the Pope kept them independent for centuries. They survived Italian Unification because they sheltered Giuseppe Garibaldi for a bit while he was a bit of a fugitive. In repayment for their help, Garibaldi promised them continued independence.
I put my nephew to sleep last night and instead of saying Goodnight he said "and a special thanks to James Bissonette" because he thought it meant goodbye 😭
@Wacky Venky that's more or less what the Norman rulers of Sicily did during the Investiture Crisis. A large portion of their population was Muslim, so they were able to draw on them to fight the Pope for the right of the secular authority to appoint bishops.

Technically, they can excommunicate whoever they want. It's just that anyone who isn't Catholic isn't going to care. What's interesting is that the Italian Army either didn't have any Protestants, or they did and they still chose to have a Jew do it instead.

Italy: Uses Jewish soldier to get around the Excommunication threat.
Pope: "You can't do that"
Italy “I can, and I have!” 😂
I really like that the title is in the form of a question. I answer in my head and then get thoroughly amused while checking the answer.
I just love the fact that the French, basically created a united Italy and that's oddly really funny to me.
And despite that, they hate us, talk about gratitude
But the french were protecting the pope aganaist the kingdom of italy.
France was actually planning for a more... dependant Italy
The French were capable of anything when it came to spiting Austria.
@@FlagAnthem Yes. They planned to have Italy as their bitch
"Well"
*Cuts quickly away from a picture of a well*
"tO bEgIn"
01:06 of all the facial expressions, I like the "oh-face" (in this case the pope's) best.
The figures you make for your videos are just adorable
Okay, I never once imagined that the Vatican technically is older than Italy as a country.
Love the video keep up the good work wish they where longer tho
You should do a video on modern (1800+) Chinese history with a focus on the duality of Capitalist Market Reforms in an Authoritarian Communist State.
I think it would be a hit video given current circumstances.
“Because... reasons” honestly explains so much of history
Its cool to go to Rome and jump back and forth there saying youre on a different country each time
Or how you can do a lap of a whole country.
Every time he says the phrase "these lands" in a video I always hear Alan Tudyk in Firefly saying: "and we shall call it...these lands!"
As a Vaticaner myself, I ask this every day.
@George Jungle Maybe...
I love the small details in the back like the "Si Si Si"-building of Mussolini's head.
Sounds like there is a whole lot more to that thousand-year history than a 3-minute video! This should be expanded to an hour-long documentary!
I love your videos bubba. Shame that they're so short, but I can understand why because of UA-cam's policies. Keep up the good work and don't stop.

"You can't excommunicate someone who isn't Christian"
Have you ever heard of crusade?
That's just plain killing of the heretics.
@@merrittanimation7721 exactly. The man leading the siege was a Jew, therefore the Pope can declare crusade against him
@@michaelrizka You don't send crusades against single people. You just have them killed.
They tried one on the Ottomans and that one failed spectacularly, it even got Hungary’s and Poland’s Kings killed.
Technically, they can excommunicate whoever they want.
It's just that anyone who isn't Catholic isn't going to care.
What's interesting is that the Italian Army either didn't have any Protestants, or they did and they still chose to have a Jew do it instead.
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!
Vatican: Threatens to excommunicate any *christian* who orders a attack on Rome
Italians: *i'm gonna do what's called a pro gamer move*
Reading all the James Bissonette comments brings so much joy to my life
Vatican: Order the attack and get excommunicated.
Piedmont-Sardinia: I’m gonna do what’s called a pro-heretic move.
It was already the Kingdom of Italy.
"San Marino because reasons" - This would be a good future video.
I steal that
Because James Jesuonette made it
Don’t butcher his holy name
Bisonette brother jesuonette
Nice videos man keep it up!
2:42 I have a suspicion that these are not the real names of your patreons...
A video idea: The Republic of Gran Colombia!
Please
I think you mean the Republic of Gran Colombia. The second O is particularly important.
@@a2falcone Oof I didn't know. I just knew the name in German was the same.
