Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Peter's City: An Account of the Origin, Development and Solution of the Roman Question' is a comprehensive historical and political analysis focusing on the long-standing conflict between the Holy See and the Italian state. Written shortly after the landmark Lateran Treaty of 1929, Thomas Ewing Moore provides a detailed examination of how the sovereignty of the Pope and the status of Rome evolved from the fall of the Papal States in 1870 to the eventual creation of Vatican City as an independent sovereign entity.The work explores the complex diplomatic, religious, and legal challenges that defined the 'Roman Question' for over half a century. Moore meticulously traces the origins of the temporal power of the Papacy, the tensions of the Risorgimento, and the delicate negotiations that led to a formal resolution. By offering a contemporary perspective on the establishment of the world's smallest sovereign state, the book provides invaluable insight into the intersection of ecclesiastical authority and modern nationalism.This scholarly yet accessible account serves as an essential resource for those interested in the history of the Catholic Church, Italian unification, and the evolution of international law. It captures a pivotal moment in twentieth-century history when a centuries-old dispute was finally laid to rest, securing the Papacy's independent role on the global stage.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
