French conquest of Corsica (original) (raw)
The French conquest of Corsica was a successful expedition by French forces of the Kingdom of France under Comte de Vaux, against Corsican forces under Pasquale Paoli of the Corsican Republic. The expedition was launched in May 1768, in the aftermath of the Seven Years' War. A French expeditionary force was landed on the island of Corsica, then ruled by the Corsican Republic. Marching inland to overcome any Corsican opposition, the French force initially suffered an unexpected defeat at the Battle of Borgo. But a new commander, the Comte de Vaux, was appointed to lead the expedition, and decisively defeated the Corsican army at the Battle of Ponte Novu in 1769, effectively bringing an end to Corsican resistance.

| dbo:abstract | The French conquest of Corsica was a successful expedition by French forces of the Kingdom of France under Comte de Vaux, against Corsican forces under Pasquale Paoli of the Corsican Republic. The expedition was launched in May 1768, in the aftermath of the Seven Years' War. A French expeditionary force was landed on the island of Corsica, then ruled by the Corsican Republic. Marching inland to overcome any Corsican opposition, the French force initially suffered an unexpected defeat at the Battle of Borgo. But a new commander, the Comte de Vaux, was appointed to lead the expedition, and decisively defeated the Corsican army at the Battle of Ponte Novu in 1769, effectively bringing an end to Corsican resistance. The Corsican forces, having neither the willpower nor the manpower to resist the French, surrendered the island. After the Corsican defeat, France annexed the island, although they took a year consolidating the territory as many Corsicans took to the hills and engaged in guerilla warfare against the French. Pasquale Paoli fled to Great Britain, where he was immensely popular, and became a member of Samuel Johnson's dining club. Corsica remained under French rule until 1794, when an Anglo-Corsican expedition captured Corsica from the French and the Anglo-Corsican Kingdom was established, with Paoli as its ruler. On 19 October 1796, the French reconquered Corsica and it became a French département.

Republik Genova sebelumnya telah menyerahkan kendali de jure atas Korsika kepada Prancis seperti yang diatur oleh pada tahun 1768. Awalnya Genova masih mengklaim pulau ini, tetapi semenjak tahun 1755 Korsika berhasil memperoleh kemerdekaannya dan merumuskan Konstitusi Korsika. Setelah Genova tidak lagi dapat merebut Korsika dengan kekuatan militer, mereka memutuskan untuk menjual hak mereka kepada Prancis. Pasukan Prancis pada awalnya mengalami kekalahan dalam pada Oktober 1768. Prancis lalu mengirim bala bantuan dalam jumlah yang besar. Pasukan Korsika mengalami kekalahan dalam dan pasukan Prancis lalu menguasai pulau ini, walaupun pasukan Korsika masih belum tunduk dan pemberontakan masih berlanjut. Serangan Prancis memicu Krisis Korsika di Britania. Walaupun Britania telah mengirim bantuan rahasia kepada Korsika, mereka tidak bertindak untuk mencegah pendudukan pulau tersebut. Pemimpin Republik Korsika Pasquale Paoli melarikan diri ke Britania dan ia menetap di situ hingga meletusnya Revolusi Prancis. Ia lalu kembali ke Korsika dan mendirikan Kerajaan Inggris-Korsika dengan bantuan dari Britania pada tahun 1794–1796. Namun, kerajaan ini pada akhirnya ditinggalkan oleh Britania dan diduduki kembali oleh Prancis.

Al Trattato di Versailles del 1768 la Francia ricevette, come pegno dalla Repubblica di Genova, il diritto di occupare la Corsica. Genova rivendicava la proprietà dell'isola, anche se dal 1755 i Corsi avevano de facto raggiunto l'indipendenza e avevano promulgato una costituzione propria. Dopo aver abbandonato ogni speranza di recuperare la Corsica con la forza, la repubblica genovese scelse quindi di vendere i propri diritti sull'isola alla Francia, desiderosa di conquistare nuove terre dopo le perdite territoriali durante la Guerra dei Sette Anni. L'offensiva iniziale della Francia fallì e l'esercito invasore subì una significativa sconfitta nella battaglia di Borgo nel mese di ottobre del 1768. La Francia inviò quindi un gran numero di rinforzi. L'esercito della Corsica subì una grave battuta d'arresto alla battaglia di Ponte Nuovo e le forze francesi presto occuparono gran parte dell'isola, anche se le forze corse non furono completamente sottomesse fino all'anno successivo e focolai sporadici di ribellione continuarono. L'invasione francese innescò la cosiddetta nella politica britannica. Pur inviando aiuti ai Corsi, il governo britannico decise di non agire contro l'occupazione francese dell'isola. Il leader della Repubblica Corsa, Pasquale Paoli, andò in esilio in Gran Bretagna, dove rimase fino alla Rivoluzione francese, quando gli fu finalmente permesso di tornare sull'isola. Le truppe britanniche successivamente intervennero in Corsica tra il 1794 e il 1796, creando il Regno di Corsica, e nel 1814, a seguito del trattato di Bastia. Dopo il Congresso di Vienna il controllo dell'isola fu restituito ai monarchi francesi restaurati. (it) |
