Savoy Confederation

The Savoy Confederation, also known as the Savoy League, was a political alliance formed in the late 15th century among various entities in the region of Savoy, which is now part of modern-day Italy and France. Established to enhance mutual defense and support among its members, the confederation involved cities and regional powers that aimed to resist external threats, particularly from France and the Duchy of Milan. This coalition promoted stability and cooperation in a time of regional conflict, reflecting the complexities of territorial governance and alliances in pre-modern Europe.
