The Papal states, which was the middle ages version of Vatican City, didn’t exist for a period of almost 60 years, when modern Vatican City was first recognized as a nation, in the Lateran treaty.
At some level, it’s a question of whether you view Vatican City as a new successor state, or a continuation of the former Papal states. The treaty framed it as a new state, which is at least an interesting historical fact.
Is that your new word of the week?
Mussolini established the Vatican as a country.
The Patti Lateranensi are bad enough that you don’t need to spread misinformation about them.
The Vatican “state” has existed since the middle ages, and for a period of time was quite big

Yup. At one point the Vatican was most of Italy. I don’t think Mussolini was around then, or he was very old during the war.
“ill just forget about hundreds of years of history”
I didn’t. It wasn’t a modern state until Mussolini. Jfc read a boom.
I don’t read booms. It’s a bad habit and causes cancer.
