Map: Duchy of Parma and Piacenza in 1815, its borders in gold among its neighbours
Duchy of Parma and Piacenza in 1815, when it held the most ground the borders dataset draws for it: 7,400 km². Its neighbours wear their tints, as on the atlas's own map. Borders from Cliopatria (CC BY 4.0), coast and rivers from Natural Earth, cities from Reba, Reitsma & Seto 2016 (CC BY 4.0), each city under the name it bore that year.

Before and after

The states the record files it as replacing or following, and those that replaced or followed it - Wikidata's own statements, each read from this state's side.

Before it

After it

How it ended, as its article says

Dissolved, 1859. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.

Parma was restored to Bourbon rule in 1847, and in 1859, the duchy was formally abolished as it was integrated into the new Italian state.

Rulers

Read from the state’s own English article and its rulers’ articles, where Wikidata names no ruler.

1 rulers, 1 with terms dated as terms, covering 1854 – 1859. Only 5 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

What happened within it, by century

Every row the atlas hosts under this state, by the century it began in: wars and battles in red, risings, regime changes and massacres beside them, everything else in grey. A tall bar is a century the record is full for, which is partly a fact about Wikipedia.

What led to it, and what came of it

The investigation's own picture: 2 causes the record names and 1 result, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
