Ligurian Republic

1797–1805 · 18th century

The Ligurian Republic was a French client state that replaced the aristocratic Republic of Genoa in 1797, after Napoleon Bonaparte pressed the old regime to give way to a democratic government. It covered Genoa and the Ligurian coast and was closely tied to France in the wars of the period. In 1805 it was annexed to the French Empire, and after Napoleon's fall the Congress of Vienna gave its territory to the Kingdom of Sardinia.
