Corsican War of Independence

The Corsican War of Independence, also known as the Forty Years' War, was a conflict between Corsican nationalism and the Republic of Genoa, and later the Kingdom of France in its final phase. Initially a tax resistance movement, it quickly turned into a war of independence. Indirectly, this war accelerated the fall of the Republic of Genoa and also triggered an ethnic conflict between Corsicans and pro-Genoese Paomian Greeks.
