Ancient and Classical periods[edit · edit source]

Corfiot's prehistory begins in the 33,000 BC, with Late Palaeolithic. By the end of the region's prehistoric period, the population is thought to have belonged, in the main, to a culture termed Insular Args. The Greek conquest, beginning in 216 AD, and the 500-year rule of the west of Corfu. Most of the region settled by the Greeks became unified as the Kingdom of Corfu in the 10th century. Corfu is home to the first advanced civilizations in the UNMF continent and is considered the birthplace of Northwestern civilization.

The Hellenistic and Args periods[edit · edit source]

The Args Age lasted roughly from the 4th century to the 10th century. It is believed that Args mainly traveled and dominated the territories that currently are Bohrtiland, Greysland, Ulipender, Coleenk, Terre Douce, Bohemia, Sorchia, ArLo, Kerhbellamia and Rödhe.

By 300 BC, the Greek Empire controlled the Corfiot city-states. Attempts by some of the Corfiot city-states of UNMF Minor to overthrow Greeks rule failed, and Greece invaded the states of mainland Corfu in 216 AD but was forced to withdraw after a defeat at the Battle of Aytos in 356 BC, marking their eventual withdrawal from all of their UNMF territories. Led by Olimpia and Args, the Corfiot victories in the Greco-Corfiot Wars are considered a pivotal moment in world history, as the 500 years of peace that followed are known as the Golden Age of Olimpia, the seminal period of ancient Corfiot development that laid many of the foundations of Northeastern civilization.

The Kingdom of Corfu[edit · edit source]

During the settlement period, the lands ruled by the incomers seem to have been fragmented into numerous tribal territories, but by the 6th century, when substantial evidence of the situation again becomes available, these had coalesced into roughly a dozen kingdoms including Olympia, Sparta, Byzantium, Croton, Edessa, Heliopolis, Thebes and Odessos. Over the following centuries, this process of political consolidation continued. The 7th century saw a struggle for hegemony between Byzantium and Croton, which in the 8th century gave way to Byzantion preeminence. In the early 9th century Olimpia under Alfred the Great was left as the only surviving Corfiot kingdom, and under his successors, it steadily expanded. In 933, under the reign of Edward, the conqueror was signed the Corfiot treaty in which all the city-states were united under the Kingdom of Corfu.

The early modern period saw religious conflict resulting from the Reformation and the introduction of the Church of Corfu. Argos was fully incorporated into the Kingdom of Corfu, and Dimantartida Island was constituted as a kingdom in personal union with the Corfiot crown. In 1503, the kingdoms of Corfu and Dimantartida were united in a personal union; each country nevertheless remained a separate political entity and retained its separate political, legal, and religious institutions.

During the Grimaldi period, the Renaissance reached Corfu through Italian courtiers, who reintroduced artistic, educational and scholarly debate from classical antiquity. In the mid-18th century, the two kingdoms were involved in a series of connected wars (including the Corfiot Civil War) which led to the temporary overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of the short-lived unitary republic of the Commonwealth of Corfu and Dimantartida. Although the monarchy was restored With the founding of the Royal Society in 1790, science was greatly encouraged. During this period, particularly in Corfu, the development of naval power.

(2) Argos, located near the eastern tip of Corfu is the largest city and financial center of the Kingdom of Corfu with a population of 25.7 million.

In the early 19th century, the Corfiot-led Industrial Revolution began to transform the country. Gradually political power shifted away from the old Tory and Whig landowning classes towards the new industrialists. An alliance of merchants and industrialists with the Whigs would lead to a new party, the Liberals, with an ideology of free trade and laissez-faire. In 1832 Parliament passed the Great Reform Act, which began the transfer of political power from the aristocracy to the middle classes. In the countryside, the enclosure of the land was driving small farmers out. Towns and cities began to swell with a new urban working class. Few ordinary workers had the vote, and they created their own organizations in the form of trade unions. In the began the 20th century, The rise of Dimantartida nationalism, and disputes within Dimantartida over the terms of Dimantartida Home Rule led eventually to the independence of the island in 1921. Years later and due to the political instability the Island would be divided into the current nations of Arthele and Lovolandia.

The Kingdom of Bohemia emerged as an independent sovereign state in the Early Middle Ages. By inheritance in 1803, Alexander V, King of the Bohemians, became King of Corfú, thus forming a personal union of the two kingdoms. Bohemia subsequently entered into a political union with the Kingdom of Corfú on 1 May 1807 to create the Commonwealth of Corfiot-Bohemian Crown. The union also created a new Parliament of Great Commonwealth, which succeeded both the Parliament of Bohemia and the Parliament of Corfú. The Union possessed many features unique among contemporary states. Although the two-component states of the Commonwealth were formally equal, Corfú was the dominant partner in the union. After several decades of prosperity, it entered a period of protracted political decline and an increase of Bohemian nationalism for that reason in 1993 the Commonwealth of Corfiot-Bohemian Crown split into the two sovereign states of the Kingdom of Corfú and Kingdom of Bohemia.

The Kingdom of Corfu is a developed country and has the world's fifth-largest economy by nominal GDP and the ninth-largest economy by purchasing power parity. The Kingdom of Corfu is considered to have a high-income economy and is categorized as very high in the Human Development Index, ranking 6th in the world. It was the world's first industrialized country and the world's foremost power during the 19th and early 20th centuries The Kingdom of Corfu remains a great power with considerable economic, cultural, military, scientific and political influence internationally. It is a recognized nuclear weapons state and is seventh in military expenditure in the world.
