Parthenopean Republic
January 24 - June 13, 1799

The term Parthenopean Republic derives from the word Parthenope, which is an old name for Naples.

The French Revolutionary army, led by General Jean Étienne Championnet, showed King Ferdinand IV of Naples the door and set up the Parthenopean Republic in January 1799.

By June of the same year Ferdinand's friends, among them naval expert Horatio Nelson, were back in town and mad as hell. Heads were rolling by the dozen.

The French officially let go of Naples by signing the Treaty of Amiens on March 27, 1802.

Or rather, they let go until Napoleon was ready to come back for more in 1806.
