Historia ya Italia

Historia ya Italia inahusu eneo la rasi ya Italia, hasa linalounda leo Jamhuri ya Italia.

Akiolojia imethibitisha uwepo wa Homo neanderthaliensis miaka 200,000 hivi iliyopita. Homo sapiens sapiens alifika miaka 40,000 hivi iliyopita.

Kufikia milenia ya 1 KK wakazi wengi walikuwa wa jamii ya Kizungu na kutumia lugha za Kihindi-Kiulaya.

Peninsula ya Italia iliunganishwa mara ya kwanza na Jamhuri ya Roma (509-27 KK), lakini hiyo ilipoenea Ulaya kusini na magharibi, Afrika ya Kaskazini na Asia ya Magharibi ikawa na sura ya kimataifa kama Dola la Roma.

Umoja ulipotea kuanzia uvamizi wa jiji la Roma uliofanywa na Wagermanik (476 BK) na hasa baada ya ufalme wa Karolo Mkuu aliyetawala sehemu ya kaskazini tu.

Juhudi za kuurudisha umoja zilifanywa hasa katika karne ya 19, ambapo Ufalme wa Sardinia uliteka sehemu kubwa ya Italia (hasa miaka 1860, 1866 na 1870) na kubadilika kuwa Ufalme wa Italia wenye makao makuu Roma.

Baada ya vita vikuu vya pili iligeuka Jamhuri yenye katiba inayotia mamlaka kuu mikononi mwa bunge.

Ni kati ya nchi sita zilizoanzisha Umoja wa Ulaya mwaka 1957 ikaendelea kuunga mkono ustawi wake hadi uanzishaji wa pesa ya pamoja (Euro).
