Answer 1

Answer: C. they had no emperors or kings, fought often, were equally strong, and independent

due to riches

Step-by-step explanation:

Italy before unification in the 1800s was a place divided. There existed various City states that held sway over large tracts of territory.

These city states were independent and saw their power increase in direct proportion to their wealth which enabled them to be independent.

These states fought for control alot but none prevailed enough to establish a country wide unification until the 19th century.
