Why is Southern Italy poorer than Northern Italy?

[RussiaPrussia]

Being a super power while the people starves doesn't seem like something to be proud of.

no one is starving in russia , we have 5% unemployment you have 10% unemployed. You have 120% Debt we have 10%

Russia is nothing more than an oil banana republic to great similarity of how Mexico use to be during the 1970s. Watch how when Oil goes down, Russia also goes down.

Oil prices fell to 40 dollars

in 2009 and remained very low in comparison to 2008 which was 140 dollars and is russia collapsing? How mexico used to be in the 70s? You mean how mexico still is in compairson to russia

Mexico in the 1970s was a banana republic that had a similar political structure to how Russia has now. Mexico has a healthier economy than Russia. even The Economist thinks that too.

because north was ruled by germans, south was ruled by spanish and arabs

North also was ruled by Spain http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducato_...281535-1706.29

Il Ducato di Milano (1395-1797) fu un antico Stato dell'Italia settentrionale che comprendeva, al momento della sua costituzione, gran parte dell'attuale Lombardia e porzioni delle regioni Piemonte, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna e Toscana, oltre al Canton Ticino e alla Mesolcina oggi in Svizzera.

but but three things are funny,
first, that you blame Spain of the poverty of the South of Italy, when Spain is a country more rich than Russia and more than half Europe.
second, it has been almost 300 years, it´s time to removing to Spain what happens in Italy, Peru or anywhere that was ruled by us.
third, that South Italy is more rich than Russia and more than half Europe too . If South Italy is poor because was ruled by Spain, what should be the reason for poverty in Russia, Estonia, Czech Republic, Serbia......................?

First of all why you do like being entirely european country makes in any way better than russia which is bordering china, japan and Korea who are more advanced civillisations than you? Second southern italy isnt richer than russia stop lieng around data clearly proves it has as high gdp per capita or even below most regions.

And so what? you had an entire empire in latin america which is today for the most part poorer than serbia, czech and slovak republics and so on..
