History, San Marino

Displayed:   times.

San Marino claims to be the world's oldest republic still in existence, being founded in 301 by a skilled builder referred to as Saint Marinus. The tiny nation was recognised by Napoleon's France in 1797, and by the other European nations at the 1815 Congress of Vienna. Although a sovereign nation, it is strongly dependent on Italy, by which it has been completely surrounded since that country's unification, in the 19th century. In 1996 San Marino and Sweden ended a war status that has lasted between them since 1648 (under the Peace of Westphalia).
