Action A of 3046 - The Sale of Corsica for England

Description

By 1760, the Ligurian Republic of Genoa had grown fed up with the permanent unrest that plagued the island of Corsica, its possession for nearly 400 years. The local people of that poor island would refuse to pay tax, disrupt trade and resort to banditry whenever an opportunity arose. The local political situation had gone to the point where the Beauty Island (nickname of Corsica) had gone to outright rebellion and semi-independence. Their Genoese had not the means to sustain repression there and were eager to get rid, if possible for a profit, of that possession. Finally it was England who bought it in 1768 and restored order, making it the major Mediterranean base from which to defeat Napoleon Bonaparte the Great Son of the Island. My Lord, you will get a large grant of cash for seceding this rebellious and hostile province.
