1729/1769, the War of independence:

This war was really the Corsican Revolution and forced Genoa which was on the wane, to repeatedly call on the intervention of Austria and then looked to France for help.
Four insurrections shook Corsica, and from these violent jolts was born together with Ghjuvan'Petru Gafori, the feeling of belonging to a nation, then the desire to win independence. This was led by Pasquale de' Paoli. From the insurrection of the "mountain dwellers" begun in Castagniccia, pillaging Bastìa, to the rallying calls for emmancipation of the leaders of towns, the movement reached the whole island.

These troubles only stirred up the competition in Mediterranean of the great powers involved in the War of Succession of Austria: England, helped by Sardinia, (under which Corsica suffered attacks) and Spain allied to France.

The fourth revolt, started by the French troops, saw the murder of Gaforri in 1753 in Corte, and unity was accomplished in 1755 centered around the leadership of Pasquale de' Paoli, general of a Corsica which would be independent for 14 years.

Pasquale de' Paoli, who was recognised as having the makings of a head of state, inspired public opinion and European intellectuals. Until then, Corsica was a piece of land which was unknown.

Corsica and its main fervent democrat, features in the books of Jean-Jacques Rousseau ("The Social Contract, or Principles of Political Right", "Projet de Constitution") and above all in the books of the Scottish writer James Boswell ("Account of a tour to Corsica").
Pasquale de' Paoli, a man of progress, known for his adaptationion of democratic ideals to the realities of 18th century Corsica.

He gave Corsica a capital - Corti - a university and he set up the structures of a state in which the "Corsican nation" is sovereign.

1768 the Treaty of Versailles - 1789 : integration with French's Empire by a French decree.

Corsica, the only independent island of the Mediterranean, had nevertheless a flimsy army.
France which had seen, at the expense of an ambiguous policy, its influence grow, in the Mediterranean in general and particularly in Genoa, found itself granted Corsica in 1768 by the Treaty of Versailles. The armed resistance opposed by the Corsica of Pasquale de' Paoli ended with their defeat at Ponte-Novo the 8th of May 1769.

2009, Corsican's resistance for freedom continues!

Корсика это не часть Франции, этот народ был завоеван, но он возродится. קורסיקה היא לא חלקה צרפתית, זה אדמה מובסת שהולכת להיוול מחדש ! 科西嘉不是法国的一部分,科西嘉这个国家曾被击败,但它将会重 生! 科西嘉不是法國的一部分,科西嘉這個國家曾被擊敗,但它將會重 生! Corsica isn't French ! Corsica is not a French Department, it's a defeated Nation who going to reborn ! Corsican is not a dialect of French. It's an Indo-European language of Latin origin, influenced by Tuscan. Language is key to the identity of any people, not least for Corsica. Korsika ist kein französische Department, es ist eine besiegte Nation die wiedergeboren wird! コルシカはフランスの国土じゃないんだ!コルシカはコルシカ国民 のコルシカ国だから、フランス人はコルシカ国の国土から出て行け !出て行け ! Korsika er ikke et fransk institutt, er det en beseiret nasjon som kommer til å bli gjenfødt!
