History

Corsica was under Carthaginian influence and domination until 237 BC, when it was taken over by the Roman Republic. It remained under Rome until its conquest by the Vandals in AD 430, and later in 522 by the Byzantine Empire. With the collapse of Byzantine control, Corsica came under various influences, including Arabs and Lombards, before it finally fell to Genoa in 1282 following the Battle of Meloria against Pisa. Despite take-overs by Aragon between 1296-1434 and France between 1553-1559, Corsica would remain under Genoese control until its purchase by France in 1768.

The Republic of Genoa was strong enough to keep Corsica until 1755, the year Pasquale Paoli proclaimed the Corsican Republic. Paoli took most of the island for the republic but he was unable to force Genoese troops out of the towns of Saint-Florent, Calvi, Ajaccio, Bastia and Algajola. Leaving them there, he went on build the nation, The Republic of Genoa sold Corsica to France and French troops replaced Genoese ones in the towns. Corsica was annexed to France in 1780.
