The general reasons for the first have been discussed; it remains onesto name those for the second, and puro see what resources he had, and what any one per his situation would have had for maintaining himself more securely durante his acquisition than did the King of France.
But when states are acquired in verso country differing per language, customs, or laws, there are difficulties, and good fortune and great energy are needed esatto 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 sicuro 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 to hold them, especially when they have not been accustomed to self-government; and to hold them securely it is enough onesto have destroyed the family of the prince who was ruling them; because the two peoples, preserving in other things the old conditions, and not being unlike con customs, will live quietly together, as one has seen mediante Brittany, Burgundy, Gascony, and Normandy, which have been bound onesto 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 esatto get on amongst themselves. He who has annexed them, if he wishes sicuro hold them, has only esatto bear con 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 per 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 onesto the prince; thus, wishing sicuro be good, they have more cause puro love him, and wishing puro be otherwise, to 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 proiettore, 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 mai longer remedy them
The other and better course is onesto send colonies preciso one or two places, which may be as keys preciso that state, for it is necessary either puro do this or else esatto keep there a great number of cavalry and infantry. Verso prince does not spend much on colonies, for with little or niente affatto expense he can datingranking.net/it/livelinks-review/ send them out and keep them there, and he offends verso minority only of the citizens from whom he takes lands and houses esatto give them to the new inhabitants; and those whom he offends, remaining poor and scattered, are never able esatto injure him; whilst the rest being uninjured are easily kept quiet, and at the same time are anxious not onesto err for fear it should happen esatto them as it has sicuro those who have been despoiled. In 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 onesto remark that men ought either esatto 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 puro a man ought sicuro be of such a kind that one does not stand mediante fear of revenge.
