Modern Venice

After the end of the Republic of Venice, the city has been under a series of different foreign states.

Venice was under Austrian-Hungarian control 1798--1805, then under Napoleonic rule in the period 1805--1815. After the Congress of Vienna, Venice was returned to the Habsburgs of Austria.

It remained under Austria — in the form of an Austrian controlled Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia — until 1866, with a brief interlude in 1848--1849 with the revolutionary Venetian Democratic Republic.

Since 1866, Venice has been part of Italy — initially under the Kingdom of Italy, which included the fascist period, and then under the Republic of Italy from 1948 until now.
