Until the beginning of the19th century, Monaco finally got rid of French control, but only gained a high degree of autonomy, not independence. However, in the middle of the19th century, Monaco was once again occupied and protected by France. It was not until 186 1 that Monaco was truly free, and the French finally recognized Monaco's independence. However, Monaco paid a heavy price for this and was forced to give up the ownership of two major towns, Menton and Rockbrown. The territory has also shrunk dramatically, from 20 square kilometers to 1.98 square kilometers. However, Monaco lives in the shadow of France. The treaty signed by the two countries in 19 19 stipulates that if the leader of Monaco has no son, the throne will be lost and Monaco will lose its independent status and become a part of France. Monaco is the second smallest country in the world, with a total area of 1.98 square kilometers, surrounded by France on three sides.
Despite its small position, its citizens are very rich, and it is one of the countries with the highest per capita income in the world. 1956, Monaco leader Rainier III and Hollywood actress Grace? Kelly is in love and married. Fairy tale marriage has attracted the attention of the whole world, but Monaco is little known. Rainier is not only happy, but also has the ability to govern the country. For more than half a century, he personally built modern Monaco, and his people have always called him the king of loving architecture.
Due to historical reasons, European titles are divided into men and each has its own territory. Monaco has always regarded France as a sovereign country in history, with the Duke as the head of state, so it is a principality. In Europe, the prince is inferior to the king. From the Middle Ages to modern times, European traditional culture has always been complete. Monaco is not called a kingdom, it is called a pro-kingdom, and it is called a big country, which is also a continuation of traditional customs. Monaco is based on the recognition of powerful dynasties such as ancient France. This historical tradition has lasted for hundreds of years. It is also disrespectful to change the title easily. Although the head of state of Monaco is called the Prince of Monaco, the royal family of Monaco is called the first royal family of Grimal, not the royal family of Monaco.
