The racist Americans of the 1940s realized they could not put all the Italians and Germans into internment camps to weed out spies. They would have had to put half of New York City citizens into internment camps. There were millions of them in the US at that time as there are now too. There were not as many Japanese so they put them into the camps illlegally.

Rome acquired control over Italy over a period of about 220 years. Most of Italy was not conquered. The largest part Italy was controlled through alliances, not conquest. Rome's first expansion was into the mountains of central and southern Italy as a result of the Three Samnite Wars against the Samnites of southern Italy (343 BC-341 BC, 326 BC 304 BC and 298 BC- 290 BC.) Rome made alliances with the peoples of these areas and only annexed the Sabines.

At the end second of these wars Rome defeated the Aequi a small people in central Italy which had been an old foe of Rome. Following this, five small Sabellic peoples in central Italy (the Marsi, Maruccini, Paeligni and Vestini and Frentani), who had been allies of the Samnites, allied with Rome in 304 BC.

In the Third Samnite War, Rome defeated an alliance between of Samnites, Umbrians and Senone Gauls of central Italy and a group of Etruscan cities-states in the Battle of Sentinium in 295 BC. At the end of the war the Samnites, Umbrians and Senone Gauls were forced to form alliances with Rome. The Lucanians, who lived to the south of the Samnites, decided to ally with Rome. Rome left the Etruscans alone. After having defeated them several times before and weakened them, they were no longer a threat. Etruscan civilisation decayed and they were absorbed through their becoming romanised. In 290 BC Rome also fought the nearby Sabines and won after a tough fight. She gave large areas Sabine land to Roman settlers. In 268 BC the Sabines were given Roman citizenship.

The Romans conquered Gallia Cisalpina, a large area on northern Italy inhabited two Gallic peoples (the, Insubres and Boii) in 222 BC following a Gallic invasion into Etruria and attempted march on Rome. During this period, the Centomani Gauls and Veneti of north eastern Italy allied with Rome. The Taurini of north-western Italy where attacked by Hannibal during his invasion of Italy in the Second Punic War (218 BC-201 BC). After this war, they allied with Rome.

The alliances made with Rome during the initial expansion into the mountains of central and southern Italy involved protection by Rome and the allies paying a tribute to Rome and providing her with soldiers at their own expense. These soldiers fought in auxiliary units which supported the Roman legions. The system worked because the Romans supported the ruling elites of the allied peoples and the allies shared the booty of war, which could be very substantial. Rome also founded colonies (settlements) in strategic areas to strengthen their control by establishing a presence there. The colonist provided Rome with intelligence and contributed to the Romanisation of the Italic peoples. The Romans also founded colonies in conquered Gallia Cisalpina.

The Roman Empire was not an empire of Italy, it was an empire started by the city of Rome. The Roman Empire had control of all the land around the mediterranean and more north/south/east. Italy today is located only in Europe and has control of Rome.

In ancient Rome, games and gladiatorial combat were quite commonplace. According to legend, the twins Romulus and Remus, suckled by a she-wolf, founded Rome. Romulus killed his twin brother, Remus; Remus' two sons, Senus and Aschius, fearing for their lives, fled north from Rome and came to an Etruscan village built on 3 hills which they eventually named after themselves (SENus and Aschius - Sena, the Latin name for Siena). They introduced to Sena Vetus (Siena) a number of so-called ludic games similar to the gladiatorial games of Rome, their natal city. Some of these games, which were actually mock battles, such as the elmora (a type of joust) and the battaglia de' sassi (a battle of hurling rocks at one's opponents) laid the foundations for the palio, a name coming from the Latin "pallium", meaning "cloth", since the prize originally consisted of a piece of valuable cloth awarded to the victorious contrada, one of the seventeen districts into which the city is divided. The name "palio" therefore refers both to the race itself as well as to the prize awarded to the winning district. These districts, or "contrade" as they are called in Italian, were at one time military companies whose main responsibilities consisted of defending the various holdings and territories of the Republic of Siena. Back in the 11th Century there were about 80 such districts. After the horrendous Black Plague of 1348 many of them disappeared or were incorporated into other districts, eventually numbering 42. In 1729 Violanta di Baviera, who ruled Siena at that time, decreed that the number of districts would be fixed at 17, which is what it remains to this day. The first references to an actual palio race, the so-called "palio alla lunga", or "straight-line palio", since it was run in a straight line, go back to the beginning of the 14th Century. In 1555 the Republic of Siena was defeated by Florentine forces with the aid of Spanish mercenaries. The military societies were disbanded but the Florentines allowed the defeated Sienese to retain the symbols and organizations of their societies, which evolved into the present-day contrade. The focus of the city then turned to within, so that the former "straight-line" palio became the "palio alla rotonda", or "palio in the round" which was raced in the Piazza del Campo, Siena's main square. This first "palio in the round" was raced in 1597 and it has continued in basically the same form up to the present day. The Palio is raced every year on July 2 and August 16 and in each race the number of participating districts is 10, with the remaining seven racing the following year. A special drawing called the "estrazione" takes place at least 30 days prior to each palio to determine which of the previous year's 10 districts will be drawn to become the 8th, 9th and 10th participants of the current year.
