Italy
| Northern Italy | ||||||
| 774 – 12th century/1805 | ||||||
| In 774 Charlemagne conquered the Kingdom of the Lombards. However, only northern and central Italy fell under Frankish control (nominally including the central Italian Papal territory). This northern portion later evolved into the Kingdom of Italy (following its partition from Middle Francia in the 855 Treaty of Prüm), and formed part of the Holy Roman Empire from 962. Other than a few periods of personal union with its southern neighbours, the north-south divide would remain until the unification of Italy in the 19th century. | ||||||

| 1805 – 1814 | ||||||
| In 1805 Napoleon crowned himself King of Italy and subsequently created a client-kingdom in north-eastern Italy. | ||||||

||||||
| Kingdom of Italy (Napoleonic) – 1812 | ||||||
| Client state of the First French Empire; existed 1805–1814 | ||||||
| Southern Italy | ||||||
| 774 – 1860 | ||||||
| While Charlemagne conquered the northern portion of the Lombard kingdom, the south remained separate, apart from a few periods of personal union, until the unification of Italy in the 19th century. As an single entity, southern Italy was sometimes united, sometimes not, during this period. | ||||||

| Norman possessions in southern Italy – 1097 | Norman Kingdom of Sicily – 1190 | Kingdom of the Two Sicilies – 1839 | ||||
| While not a united polity, the County of Sicily and Duchy of Apulia and Calabria were both ruled by members of the House of Hauteville (in 1097 by Roger Bosso (uncle) and Roger Borsa (nephew) respectively) and were closely tied. | ||||||
| Italian Unification | ||||||
| 1860 – Today | ||||||
| In 1860 the Kingdom of Sardinia united almost all Italian lands into the newly re-formed Kingdom of Italy, and within the next decade the remainder of Italian lands not part of the Austrian Empire/Austria-Hungary, Switzerland or San Marino were also integrated. | ||||||
