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.
Here are some of the articles covering this period.
