Venice.
Under the rule of Austria-Hungary, Venice appeared far more desolate than before the Italo-Austrian War. The war severely affected the Venetian population, leading to significant loss and infrastructure damage, resulting in a substantial weakening that has persisted.
Of course, this has brought about a more stable governance in the Venetian region. During the Italo-Austrian War, hundreds of thousands of Italians went to East Africa, becoming one of the major sources of population there. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Italians fled to other countries and regions due to the war, leaving behind large areas of population vacuum that Austrians filled.
At the same time, the aristocrats and powerful families in the Venetian region faced liquidation by Austria-Hungary, enabling Austria's various population policies to be implemented in Venice, making the future detachment of Venice from Austria-Hungary increasingly difficult.
