The general reasons for the first have been discussed; it remains sicuro name those for the second, and preciso see what resources he had, and what any one sopra his situation would have had for maintaining himself more securely sopra his acquisition than did the King of France.
But when states are acquired mediante per country differing con language, customs, or laws, there are difficulties, and good fortune and great energy are needed puro hold them, and one of the greatest and most real helps would be that he who has acquired them should go and reside there
Now I say that those dominions which, when acquired, are added puro an ancient state by him who acquires them, are either of the same country and language, or they are not. When they are, it is easier puro hold them, especially when they have not been accustomed sicuro self-government; and onesto hold them securely it is enough preciso have destroyed the family of the prince who was ruling them; because the two peoples, preserving con other things the old conditions, and not being unlike per customs, will live quietly together, as one has seen sopra Brittany, Burgundy, Gascony, and Normandy, which have been bound puro France for so long per time: and, although there may be some difference per language, nevertheless the customs are alike, and the people will easily be able sicuro get on amongst themselves. He who has annexed them, if he wishes puro hold them, has only puro bear durante mind two considerations: the one, that the family of their former raffinato is extinguished; the other, that neither their laws nor their taxes are altered, so that durante a very short time they will become entirely one body with the old principality.
This would make his position more secure and durable, as it has made that of the Turk sopra Greece, who, notwithstanding all the other measures taken by him for holding that state, if he had not settled there, would not have been able sicuro keep it. Besides this, the country is not pillaged by your officials; the subjects are satisfied by prompt recourse esatto the prince; thus, wishing esatto be good, they have more cause puro love him, and wishing to be otherwise, preciso fear him. He who would attack that state from the outside must have the utmost caution; as long as the prince resides there it can only be wrested from him with the greatest difficulty.
Because, if one is on the spot, disorders are seen as they spring up, and one can quickly remedy them; but if one is not at hand, they are heard of only when they are great, and then one can in nessun caso longer remedy them
The other and better course is to send colonies preciso one or two places, which may be as keys sicuro that state, for it is necessary either sicuro do this or else esatto keep there a great number of cavalry and infantry. A prince does not spend much on colonies, for with little or per niente expense he can send them out and keep them there, and he offends per minority only of the citizens from whom he takes lands and houses to give them puro the new inhabitants; and those whom he offends, remaining poor and scattered, are never able puro injure him; whilst the rest being uninjured are easily kept quiet, and at the same time are anxious not puro err for fear it should happen esatto them as it has onesto those who have been despoiled. Sopra conclusion, I say that these colonies are not costly, they are more faithful, they injure less, and the injured, as has been said, being poor and scattered, cannot hurt. Upon this, one has sicuro remark that men ought either sicuro be well treated or crushed, because they can avenge themselves of lighter injuries, of more serious ones they cannot; therefore the injury that is puro be done preciso per man ought onesto be of such per kind that one https://www.datingranking.net/it/christianconnection-review does not stand con fear of revenge.
