In what way were the italian city states geographically socially and politically pre-disposed to benefit from the economic changes occurring in europe following the crusades

The geographic aspect of the question is the most evident one: Italy is a Mediterranean nation, its position dominates the entire Mediterranean and any navy from any of the Italian city States has a geographical advantage in that respect as its ships can quickly come to any place in the Mediterranean Sea. That advantage was a disadvantage during the Middle Ages when Islamic Pirates and Slave traders raided every Christian Mediterranean town or city to pillage and plunder, taking thousands of Italians (especially women) as slaves. Southern Italy and Sicily were invaded and colonized by Islamic invaders. Socially, Italy was the first European country to leave the Middle Ages and start the Renaissance. Following the Crusades, they were at the forefront of the Renaissance and because they had been actively engaged in the Crusades they were able to access lots of Classic knowledge that had been lost in Europe after the Fall of Rome and which had been preserved by Non-Arab Muslim and non-Muslim scholars during the Golden Age of Islam. Politically, because they were organized as city States, they had a local, centralized authority that made it easier and more effective to compete for political and economic hegemony of the Mediterranean seaboard, which was a very rich region.

answer; /// i believe the three where,tutankhamun,hatshepsut and , im not sure,but maybe (ramses the great)

the correct answers are the following

a proxy war which functioned as a training field for wwii

republican democratic goverment

national side, leaded by the fascist general franco

the spanish civil war took place between 1936 and 1939 and was fought after a military coup undertaken on the 17th july 1936 by a group of generals that had seceeded from the spanish republican army, under the leadership of general franco, and who aimed to expel the democractically-elected republican goverment from power.

this war became a proxy war in which european powers tested their military equipment. on one side, urss and mexico supported the left-wing republican spanish goverment, while nazi germany and fascist italy supported the national fascist side.

franco managed to win the war in 1939, with the significant contribution of the foreign military support, and became the dictator of spain until his death in 1975.
